This irrigation device controls the sudden release of water from a supply ditch directly onto a graded field or basin. It is designed to deliver a high flow rate quickly, ensuring an even sheet of water covers the entire soil surface before it has time to percolate deeply at the source end. Proper sizing and placement prevent erosion while achieving uniform soil saturation.
