Because when wind pushes clouds over mountains, the mountains make it difficult fore heavy winds and clouds to go over, so they have to drop weight; in their case, water. The rain usually ends up in the one area that the clouds go over, and after a while the rain wheathers down a part of the mountain that future water will travel through. After a long time, it might turn into a river, or more likely a stream.
