| Saving water with Alternative Wetting Drying (AWD) | Water management | Alternate Wetting and Drying (AWD) is a water-saving technology that farmers can apply to reduce their irrigation water use in rice fields without any yield penalty. In AWD, irrigation water is applied a few days after the disappearance of the ponded water. Hence, the field is alternately flooded and non flooded. | Saving water with Alternative Wetting Drying (AWD) |

| Good water management practices | Water management | In many paddy fields, water flows from one field to another through breaches in the bunds. Under such conditions, water in an individual field can not be controlled and field-specific water management is not possible - construction of channels to convey water to and from each field, or group of fields, greatly improves the irrigation and drainage of water. | good water management practices in rice, how to reduce water loss, water management during field preparation |
