These areas are with good water control suitable for growing of improved varieties with short stature. Perhaps 70 to 75% of world rice production comes from irrigated areas. In irrigation areas, rainfall supplements irrigation water. Varieties with short stature, short growth duration, and multiple disease and insect resistance perform best. The temperature range is acceptable for normal rice growth throughout the growing period.

Tidal wetlands with saline water occur near seacoasts and mouths of estuaries. There is seawater intrusion either through out the year or during the dry season. Varieties should have salinity and tidal submergence tolerance.
