Watts are areas in the intertidal zone of the coasts that dry at low tide. It can be sand, mixed, silt or Felswatt. The term Watt derives from the Old Frisian word wada "by wading passable, shallow, shallow" ago. Very extensive, by Prielen durchzogene Watt areas on flat coasts form together with immediately adjacent areas, such. B. salt marshes, a Wadden Sea. Watts are also available in the riparian zone and in side arms of estuaries. The tidal flats fall dry twice within 24 hours due to the tides and are twice flooded again.
