    I don’t think rice requires water? It just tolerates it fine, so it’s useful for pest/weed control?

      It requires water but not the same stagnant levels it used to. Modern cultivation is done with a series of inter connected Levees that allow the water to flow at lower levels than it used to be grown in.
