There may not be a rain god, but I believe Ronance has a role in irrigation, taming the serpents to follow regualar routes, blessing the land he passes through.
I think Waha must have got the idea for a Good Canal from someone.

His destruction by Ragnaglar, although not complete, doesn't seem to let him return.
