| Abstract from DBPedia | Land reclamation, usually known as reclamation, and also known as land fill (not to be confused with a waste landfill), is the process of creating new land from oceans, seas, riverbeds or lake beds. The land reclaimed is known as reclamation ground or land fill. In some jurisdictions, including parts of the United States, the term "reclamation" can refer to returning disturbed lands to an improved state. In Alberta, Canada, for example, reclamation is defined by the provincial government as "The process of reconverting disturbed land to its former or other productive uses." In Oceania, it is frequently referred to as land rehabilitation.埋立地（うめたてち）は、廃棄物や浚渫土砂、建設残土などを大量に積み上げることによって人工的に造成された土地を指す。概ね、湾や湖などの水面に投入することによって陸地を造成する場合と、低湿地・窪地・山間地などの内陸地に盛土して造成する場合とがある。 (Source: http://dbpedia.org/resource/Land_reclamation) |
