So to have enough rice supply for the locals, we found a farming technology that flattened small area of the mountain then shaped it into several different levels so it will shaped in terrace landscape. The watering system will be flow from the top level of the rice terrace and spread into the next level underneath.

Instead of flattened the mountain into a wide flat area, this option is more realistic and more ecosystem friendly since we are not changing the shape of the mountain itself.
