Land reclamation helps us to return the land to a state where, at a minimum it is at least as capable of supporting the same kinds of land uses as before the disturbance. To reclaim land we must know what it was originally like -- its soil and vegetation types and characteristics, what changes have been made to it and then consider whether it should be reclaimed to its original purpose or used for something else.
