Curved levees in rice fields?

Saturday, October 24th, 2009
Why do some rice fields in California have curving levees or dikes separating the fields? They do not follow the topography of a hillside, they are situated in large expanses of open land (flooded, of course).

Agricultural Questions?

Friday, March 27th, 2009
I need to know some stuff for homework.

Questions: Wheat growing: Amount of precipitation needed - Average temperature needed - Soil conditions - topography best suited - Country where it originated

Rice: Amount of precipitation needed - Average temperature needed - Soil conditions - topography best suited - Country where it originated

Thanks for any help you can provide.
