For many countries in the world, the shift from water supply management (WSM) to water demand management (WDM) plays an important role in management of water resources which was already increasingly scarce. Tradditional WSM approach has exposed many limitations such as: high costs, wastefulness, water loss, thus they put a lot of pressure on scare fresh water resources, affect the ecosystem, make increasing water demand become more passive.

Rice is commonly grown by transplanting one month-old seedlings into puddled and continuously flooded soil which leads to higher losses of water through puddling, surface evaporation and percolation. Excessive pumping of water for puddling causes problems of declining water table and poor quality water for irrigation.
