Answer

When it rains in the mountains it causes flashfloods so it is unsafe to go camping in low ground or mountainside until the rains are over. The water is collected using dams. The rest either forms temporary small lakes or is absorbed by the porous sand into ground water table, people traditionally dug wells to get to that water (for farms they will set-up a mill-type contraption to get the water out continuously for irrigation). The rest (above ground) evaporates.
