- Water efficiency
Producing a ton of rice in a paddy system will consume 5,000 cubic meter (m3) of water. Alternatively, that same ton grown with drip irrigation will need only 1,500 cubic meter (m3). Drip eliminates evaporation, run-off and percolation. - Huge environmental impact
Paddy rice cultivation generates more than 10% of methane gas emissions worldwide. If only 10% of paddy rice farmers switch to drip, the drop in emissions will be equivalent to taking 40 million cars off the road.
