reclamation and remediation

Reclamation and remediation are processes used to restore land that has been disturbed or polluted. Reclamation involves making the land suitable for new uses, such as agriculture, development, or natural habitats. This might include adding soil, planting vegetation, or reshaping the land. Remediation focuses specifically on cleaning up pollution, such as hazardous waste or contaminants in soil and water. This process often involves removing harmful substances or treating the land to reduce toxicity. Together, reclamation and remediation aim to rehabilitate and enhance the environment, ensuring it is safe and functional for future use.
