The whole process takes place in four steps. In the advance phase the water is supplied to the field. In the storage phase starts at the end of the advance phase, it is the phase when no more water is supplied.
The short submerged phase just after the completion of the storage phase is known as the depletion phase. In the recession phase the water just retreats or comes back.
In order to work this process out, you need strict management. There are many consequences may arise like water logging, deep drainage and salinization.
