Visit Mouth of Tiger Rice Terrace.
 Rice terrace system is developed in mountainous landscape within which rice is cultivated, and it involves the development of specific water management and cultivation practices that produce specific beneficial outcomes. The ponding technique used in terrace system has allowed cultivation even on steep slopes, and it helps to prevent soil erosion and landslides.
Ponding technique also has a higher capacity for flood control: peak flows during heavy rains are reduced because the field bunds have a high water storage capacity. The layer of water due to ponding in rice cultivation minimizes weed growth and thus also the need for herbicides and manual weed control. The permanent presence of water on the field also generates percolation of water and groundwater recharge, which is often beneficial for other types of water use.
