Wild Floodingd ood gWater is applied by spreading on land.No preparation in the form of levees No preparation in the form of levees or borders or ditches.Water can be directly applied from natural stream or river during floodnatural stream or river during flood.Suitable for smooth and flat land.Wastage of water .
