What are rain shadows used for?

As a simple example: a tall mountain near the sea. The prevailing wind off the sea carries a lot of rain water. On reaching the mountain, and in order to rise over the mountain, the clouds tend to rise meeting colder air at the higher altitudes. This means that it will rain, as cold air can't contain much water vapour. So the rain mainly falls on the side of the mountain facing the sea. Once over the mountain, there is very little rain left. So, on the side of the mountain away from the sea, a rain shadow is formed and very little rain will fall in the area of the shadow.
