Reclamation is the process of restoring land, water, and ecosystems that have been disturbed by human activities such as mining, agriculture, or urban development. This may involve regrading land, replanting vegetation, reintroducing native species, and restoring water quality. The goal of reclamation is to return the land to a stable and productive state, both ecologically and economically, while minimizing the impacts of human activities on the environment. Reclamation is often required by law to mitigate the environmental impacts of development projects and ensure sustainable land use practices.
