The Climate Resilient Integrated Water Management Project (CRIWMP) in Sri Lanka is implementing Alternate Wetting and Drying (AWD) to improve water management in paddy cultivation. This initiative reduces water usage by up to 27%, increases cropping intensity, and empowers farmers with training and technology. Innovations such as the Sensor Light System and Water Level Arrow Marking System support efficient irrigation practices, leading to significant reductions in methane emissions and enhancing agricultural productivity and sustainability.
