The brief "Promoting productive water use and efficient water management in paddy fields" summarizes the findings from the project "Efficient agricultural water use and management enhancement in paddy fields". The brief describes the project objectives, the current state of paddy production in the participating countries, the lessons learned from assessing paddy production in the context of agricultural water management, and the upcoming activities.

The Land and Water Division of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) is implementing Phase I of the project, which is funded by the Japanese government, in partnership with partners and national institutions in Sri Lanka and Zambia. The project is aimed to improve understanding of the existing state of water use efficiency and production in both countries, as well as identify national constraints and potential. The analysis serves as a foundation for providing technical and policy support to countries seeking to improve water resource management in paddy fields.
