It is noteworthy that the "P" in the GRiSP acronym stands for "partnership" and not for "program." Embedded within GRiSP are many "subpartnerships," such as consortia, networks, platforms, and time-bound projects. Some partnerships are decades old and now aligned with GRiSP's mission and objectives, while other partnerships have just recently been established to serve a specific purpose along GRiSP's impact pathway toward development. All partners are, in one way or another, bound together by a common mission of poverty alleviation, rice food securi-ty, and environmental sustainability and protection.

Little information is available on water balance in different toposequence positions of sloped rainfed lowland. Therefore, the aim of this work was to quantify percolation and the lateral water flow with special reference to the toposequential variation. Data used for the analysis was collected in Laos and northeast Thailand. Percolation and water tables were measured on a daily basis using a steel cylindrical tube with a lid and perforated PVC tubes, respectively. Percolation rate was determined using linear regression analysis of cumulative percolation. Assuming that the total amount of evaporation and transpiration was equivalent to potential evapotranspiration, the lateral water flow was estimated using the water balance equation. Separate perched water and groundwater tables were observed in paddy fields on coarse-textured soils. The percolation rate varied between 0 and 3 mm/day across locations, and the maximum water loss by lateral movement was more than 20 mm/day. Our results are in agreement with the previously reported findings, and the methodology of estimating water balance components appears reasonably acceptable. With regard to the toposequential variation, the higher the position in the topoesquence, the greater potential for water loss because of higher percolation and lateral flow rates.

Because of increasing water scarcity, there is a need to develop alternative systems that require less water. "Aerobic rice" is a new concept of growing rice: it is high-yielding rice grown in non-puddled, aerobic soils under irrigation and high external inputs. To make aerobic rice successful, new varieties and management practices must be developed. Results are reported of field experiments and farmer-participatory research in the Huang-Huai-Hai plain, northern China, where newly developed aerobic rice varieties are compared with lowland rice. Highest recorded aerobic rice yields were 4.7—6.6 t ha -1 , compared with 8—8.8 of lowland rice. The variety Han Dao 502 is most promising because of its relatively high yield under both aerobic and flooded conditions and because of its good quality fetching a high market price. Compared with lowland rice, water inputs in aerobic rice were m...
