Transliteration:( 'A-antum anzaltumoohu minal muzni am nahnul munziloon )
62. It should be remembered that in some countries only rainwater is used for drinking. People live on it for the whole year. For them, this verse crystal clear. Where people drink water of the well, this verse is correct, because the source of water of the wells is rain. The year when there is no rain, these wells run dry. Thus, the meaning of the verse is clear.
63. It is work of the angels to cause the rain to fall, but since it is due to Divine order therefore it is being said that We cause it to rain.

Please refer to Surah Waqiah ayat 63 which provides the complete commentary from verse 63 through 74.
29. That is, We have not only made arrangements of satisfying your hunger, but also of satisfying your thirst, This water that is even more essential for your life than bread has been arranged by Us, not by you. The seas in the earth have been created by Us. It is the heat of Our sun that causes their water to evaporate, and it is Our winds that cause the vapors to rise. Then it is by Our power and wisdom that the vapors collect and form into clouds. Then, by Our command the clouds divide in a particular proportion and spread over different regions of the earth so that the share of the water appointed for a particular region, should reach it. And also in the upper atmosphere, We bring about the cool that causes the vapors to change back into water. We have not only brought you into being but are also busy making all these arrangements for your sustenance without which you could not survive at all. Then, when the fact is that you have come into being by Our act of creation, are eating Our provisions and drinking Our water, where from have you gotten the right that you should pose to be independent of Us and serve someone else beside Us.
