Currently, that information is determined based on the order of the
terrains in the ruleset.  So, rather than creating a new terrain
ruleset from scratch, you want to copy the default one and then make
your changes.  For instance, if you want a particular terrain
("plateau", say) to be "high", replace the standard Mountains terrain
with it; if you want a terrain to be "wet", replace the standard Swamp
terrain with it, and so on.

This is not ideal, of course.  It artificially limits what kinds of
terrain rulesets can be created.  Hopefully this will be improved in
the future.  Currently, however, that's how it stands.
