      Yes, except that the water in a rice paddy is not particularly stagnant in the first place.

      You know, it’s a food crop, so it’s generally maintained.

      People don’t want to eat rice that comes out of a sick looking pool of water, and nobody wants to live near a ton of stagnant ponds where mosquitos will go crazy.
