Wadi Hatta

Wadi Hatta (Wādī Ḥattā) is a valley or dry river with ephemeral or intermittent flow, which flows almost exclusively during the rainy season, located north of Oman, in the Al Batinah North; and to the east of the United Arab Emirates, in the enclave of Hatta (Dubai). It forms its own drainage basin, covering an area of approximately 548 km2 (212 mi2), and is bordered to the north by the Wadi Al Qor; to the south by the Wadi Fayd; and to the west by the Mahadah drainage basin (Wadi Andhayrah, Wadi Khuraymah, Wadi Mayhah and others, flowing into the large alluvial plain of Madam Plain and the Wadi Yudayyah). The main wadi, which gives its name to the entire drainage basin, is the Wadi Hatta, with numerous tributaries and sub-tributaries forming an important drainage network composed by hundreds of independent streams, most of them unnamed. The main tributaries are: In Oman: Wadi Umm Daqqayn, Wadi al Qahfi, Wadi Nasub, Wadi Massayid, Wadi Khabab, Wadi Sufaydah and Wadi Ashar. In UAE: Wadi Hadf, Wadi Qimah and Wadi Wahiyah.

Flows through: United Arab Emirates.
