    Sometimes more and sometimes less!

      Anyone who has ever looked over the dyke in the Wadden Sea knows them, the fences in front of the dyke. At high tide, the water flows over the fences (Lahnungen) onto the Lahnungsfelder, where the suspended matter that is carried along settles. The Lahnungsfelder are drained by ditches and divided into beds. The trenches are dug regularly and the excavated material is piled up on the beds. If the beds are sufficiently silted up, the ditches are dug further, which also drains the soil between the ditches. This increases the mudflats and becomes the foreland. Land reclamation raises the ground level by up to ten centimeters per year. This allows land levels to be reached that are above the level of normal tide. The land gained in this way lies in front of the dike and is therefore called the foreland.
