Detailed explanation-1: -Reclamation is returning land that has been mined to a useful condition. Recycling is using materials over and over, to reduce waste and the amount of new resources that must be mined.

Detailed explanation-2: -Land reclamation means creating land either by removing water from muddy areas or raising the level of the land.

Detailed explanation-3: -The simplest method of land reclamation involves simply filling the area with large amounts of heavy rock and/or cement, then filling with clay and soil until the desired height is reached. Draining of submerged wetlands is often used to reclaim land for agricultural use.

Detailed explanation-4: -Land reclamation is the process of creating new land by raising the elevation of a waterbed or low-lying land or by pumping water out of muddy morass areas. Land reclamation can be achieved by poldering or by raising the elevation of a seabed or riverbed or low-lying land by: dry earth movement; or. hydraulic filling.

Detailed explanation-5: -Reclamation is the combined process by which adverse environmental effects of surface mining are minimized and mined lands are returned to a beneficial end use. End uses may be open space, wildlife habitat, agriculture, or residential and commercial development.
