well, i know that in some parts of the world they grow dry rice and wet rice. dry rice is grown in hills and mountains where there is not a lot of water, and wet rice is grown in valleys. wet rice is grown in things that look like big ponds, called patties. they plant the rice and they must keep water on them all the time. when the rice is ready to harvest, they drain the water into lakes and stuff. hope i helped!

Actually, the rice feilds are not kept wet at all times, but are flooded three times, when the rice is being planted to keep the soil wet enough to plant it, the second time to drown pests and a third time to support the heavy heads of rice. The rice can't be wet at all times, though, or it will be ruined.
