reclamation engineering

Reclamation engineering is the process of restoring or improving land that has been disturbed or degraded, such as abandoned mines or polluted sites. It involves designing methods to rehabilitate the environment, ensuring that soil, water, and ecosystems are cleaned and made productive again. Engineers in this field assess the damage, develop plans for recovery, and implement solutions that often include planting vegetation, managing water resources, and enhancing wildlife habitats. The goal is to return the land to a usable state, benefiting both the environment and the community.
