Rain water
Rain water is necessary for the cultivation of rice, but too much rain causes floods and inundates paddy fields, villages and even towns, causing enormous sufferings for the poor people.

The 2nd 'cause' doesn't really bother me (like 'even' does), but you could rephrase to e.g. 'inflicting enormous suffering on'.
