Claim 0:
1. A portable water spreader system configured for constructing road base, the system comprising:
a) a structural water tank having a tank wall and a volume of at least 150 gallons, the water tank being vertically displaceable between:
i) a lowered position, and
ii) a raised position elevated above the ground, and the water tank being tiltable between:
i) an upright orientation, and
ii) a tilted orientation substantially 90 degrees from the upright orientation;

b) one portion of a quick-coupler of a front-end loader carried by the tank wall and positioned on a back side of the water tank in the upright orientation, the water tank being liftable by the one portion of the quick-coupler to the raised position;
c) a skid coupled to the tank wall and positioned at a bottom of the water tank in the upright orientation;
d) at least two discharge pipes each having a proximal end coupled to the tank wall on a front side of the water tank in the upright orientation and opposite the one portion of the quick-coupler, and each having a distal end positioned at least at a level of a top of the water tank in the upright orientation;
e) a vent pipe having a proximal end coupled to the tank wall on the top of the water tank in the upright orientation and opposite the skid, and having a distal end positioned at least at a level of the back side of the water tank in the tilted orientation, and the distal end positioned above the top of the water tank in the upright orientation;
f) an inlet opening in the tank wall on the top of the water tank in the upright orientation;
g) a lid movably coupled to the water tank and removably coupled over the inlet opening;
h) a fill pipe having a distal end positioned over the inlet opening and spaced-apart from the inlet opening in the upright orientation, and having a proximal end below the distal end with a pipe quick-connection;
i) at least two spray heads removably coupled to the distal ends of the at least two discharge pipes and configured to dispense water from the water tank to a location in front of the water tank in the tilted orientation; and
j) a discharge boom pipe removably coupled to the distal ends of the at least two discharge pipes and extending laterally beyond a lateral end of the water tank to an outlet configured to dispense water from the water tank to a location to a lateral end of the water tank in the tilted orientation.
