Mnemonic

The best way to make sure there is zero spill when it rains is to get rid of the rain. You use a special ray (れい) gun and zap the rain right out of the sky. There will be zero spills because there will be zero rain.

Hints

You just take your ray gun and "zap!" the clouds are gone. There will be zero spills today.

Hint: when you see the radical orders it's fairly likely the reading will be れい.
