I confronted with this sentence:
Rainfall was limited and what water there was rushed across the plain in the annual flood of melted snow.
I'm confused with the sentence in bold. Can anyone help explain the structure of that sentence? Thanks!

what water there was = the water which was available, in spite of the limited rainfall. It is the subject in the sentence in bold.
rushed = the verb
across the plain = where it rushed
in the annual flood of melted snow = when it rushed = when the snow melted (i.e. the spring of each year)
