German term or phrase: überstauten
Hello all!
This is from a text about rice-growing. From the context it seems like it must mean "flooded", but i can't find the word "ueberstauen/ueberstaut" anywhere! And would you translate "Sumpfreis" as "paddy rice"?

"Bereits in seinen Ursprüngen wurde Reis als Sumpfreis in überstauten Böden kultiviert."

Thanks very much!
