The relationship of the participation of rice farmers in managing water resources to rice production during the Covid 19 pandemic

“…The participation of rice farmers in managing water resources is the participation of farmers in water resource management activities carried out by groups of farmers using water in planning, attendance, procurement of fees, and security in managing water resources because the farmer group is a place for learning and cooperation [35][36][37]. The participation of farmers in water resource management activities is a form of farmer awareness to keep the water supply running smoothly and available on paddy rice farming land during the production process so that every year lowland rice farming land can produce at least twice the production process per year to increase production yields.…”
