A level spreader is an outlet constructed at zero grade across the slope consisting of a vegetated or mechanical structure used to disperse or "spread" concentrated flow thinly over a receiving area. Its purpose is to spread collected water over a wide enough area so that erosion of the receiving area does not result.  1, record 2, English, - level%20spreader

Method of irrigation which consists of spilling water at frequent intervals from a grade ditch constructed along the high edge of a sloping field. The water is allowed to flow freely down the slope, irrigating the soils the water moves across. Interceptor ditches are placed at intervals down the slopes to collect the water. Used primarily for irrigating low-income crops on steep lands where uniformity of water distribution is not a major consideration.  2, record 10, English, - wild%20flooding
