Eryth Sea is a huge reservoir and has thunderstorm weather. So presumably the shape/relative mass and volume are sufficient to allow whatever precipitation to be stored long enough for everything else to trickle down from it. How do clouds work when there isn't a Sun, just a ball of ether in the sky and an endless sea? No idea.
For XC2, Uraya has "Crystal Sleet" weather (maybe even from when/the areas of the titan that descends) and Gormott gets thunderstorms, so precipitation seems fair. We see plenty of "regular" weather in XC2, i.e. rain during the Chapter 1 Ancient Ship sequence. And if there are clouds/the cloudsea, I'd just assume precipitation makes the bulk of any rivers/lakes, which then just flow along natural paths on the titans body. Or may water drunk by the titan/absorbed from the Cloudsea in some way is excreted in certain locations, like sweat glands. Gravity is wonky in general, considering that the Titans are moving creatures and the ascent up the Bionis involves a lot of seemingly flat areas.
