LimitationsWater and Money
Water Evapotranspiration, Seepage, Preparation, and PercolationAdvantage: less water needed, less methane is produced (temp, rice), less water pollution then traditional methodsDisadvantages: weeding required, higher quality water is needed, increases the susceptibility of certain diseases for certain types of ricehttp://pubs.usgs.gov/fs/2009/3057/http://www.plantcell.org/content/19/8.cover-expansion
MoneyAdvantages: less water needed able to utilize some of the remaining structureDisadvantages: more water management equipment neededmore gas required for pumplarge up front costhttp://www.flickr.com/photos/gnarlyleech/4516824222/
Overcoming Problems
Government support for environmental bettermentGenetic modification of rice More productive, more drought resistant, disease defiantThese modifications could eliminate the majority of limitationsSuperior fertilizersFertilizers that are better adapted to this form of farming
Summary

Good Afternoon my name is Joyce and I am a member of Team RICE, the Research Institure for Cultivating Efficiency*RICE is an institute that focuses on providing better opportunities for third world countries. The most recent project that Team RICE is pursuing is directed toward the Philippines. Our mission for this project is to increase rice production and employment in the Philippines while decreasing the methane emission that is produced by the rice.*In order to fulfill this mission, we are proposing a project that requires a drainage system and the application of ammonium sulfate fertilizer to the rice paddies in the Philippines.*Wetland rice fields have been the most useful way of producing rice crops. However, they are also the major source of methane emission.
In addition to that, rice production in the philippines has decreased by 3.27 percent recently. And with the Philippines being known importers of rice instead of exporters, Team RICE is working on helping the Philippines overcome the problems and consequently improve the Philippines status in the Rice Industry. And in order to do that, Team RICE is willing to provide a service that require the use of mid-season drainage and ammonium sulfate fertilizer.*To start off, team Rice will provide a dam to the rice paddies in the Philippines that will allow for mid-season drainage. The mid-season drainage system allows for shallow flooding. The water is then drained for exactly 7 days to stress the soil appropriately therefore resulting in maximum yield of rice. The benefits of this drainage system is that less methane gas is produced because the water drained and therefore does not initiate the production of methane gas.*

*Evapotranspiration- combination between the evaporation of water off the ground and water from the transpiration of plantsSeepage- is the ability of water to flow though soilPreparation- allows for the soil to be easily prepared for the planting of the seedPercolation- water sinks through the ground to refill ground water resevoirs
Water used in rice fields often comes from dwindling aquifersAllowing the water to subside for a given period of time reduces anaerobic behavior in the soilReduction in methane reduces the earths temperature, especially in areas that are rich in Methane, Increasing temperatures reduces rice production
Weeding requires more man hoursWater quality requires better filtering systems
*Gas prices are increasing due to war and other external factorsFlood gates are required for optimal water management of the fields
Flood gates and other flood management equipment will need to be implied to control periods of flooding
