In this region, the year is divided into two seasons depending on the hydrological conditions, a wet season and a dry one. Rice has been traditionally cultivated by monsoon rain during the wet season. However, the season for rice cultivation differs from place to place according to the local hydrological conditions. In regions where irrigation projects have been initiated, summer paddies are cultivated as a second rice crop during the dry season according to the water availability.  A traditional rice cropping season adopted in a region should be regarded as an optimum season for the farmers because of their long experience on the hydrology, or many successes and failures in rice cultivation due to the amount and timing of monsoon rain.
