Oh well, another point for Daniel. But people understand me when I say “うすい”…

Most online dictionaries dont seem to have an entry for “雨水”, but I found a couple of web sites that listed it as ‘あまみず’ (eg: http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/amamizu). Not that everything you read online is correct of course, but I havn’t been able to find anything that gives the reading as ‘うすい’.

There are some cases that are traditionally exceptions. However, with most modern “invented” words, if they want kun-yomi without particles/conjunctions, they will use kana to make it explicit.
