Hi,
"When do we begin to mention rain in our prayers?
"R' Eliezer said: When we pick up the lulav [at the start of Succot].
"R' Yehoshua said: When we put down the lulav [at the end of Succot].
"R' Eliezer explained: This is because these four species come only to gain favor for [the year's] water. Just as these four species cannot exist without water, so the world cannot exist without water."
(Talmud, Taanit 2b)
Have a great Yom Tov,
Mordechai
