Bangladesh Farmers Digging Simple Wells Have Created an Irrigation Wonder of the World–With Rice Overflowing
By Andy Corbley Nov 30, 2022"Over the last 40 years, small-holder farmers in Bangladesh have, using very simple methods, turned the dry Bengal Basin into one of the richest croplands on Earth where two to three rice harvests can be had per year.
They created a climate-resilient water system dubbed “The Bengal Water Machine” that has kept an underground reservoir topped up, even through extensive mechanized irrigation, by accumulating seasonal monsoon rains totaling a volume of 75 to 90 cubic kilometers of water.
That’s equivalent to half of Italy’s Lake Como, to between 5 and 6-times the volume of Lake Windermere in England, one-sixth of the volume of Lake Erie, double the volume of the Three Gorges Dam in China, triple the volume of the Hoover dam reservoir of Lake Mead, or if you’d prefer the figure in gallons, 23,775,484,712,233.00 (23.7 trillion)."
"rice—which they produce in such numbers they have become the world’s fourth-largest producers of the stuff, leading the nation to be completely grain independent"

The article speculates application in Mekong delta, etc. So maybe also applicable to the Mississippi River delta
