The rapid global population growth leads to considerable rising consumption of natural resources such as air, water, and land. The demand for land has increased in the last two decades, both inland and seaside. Land reclamation along with the coastline has been preferred as a solution for modern urban development, such as three land reclamation projects in Rach-Gia Bay, the Vietnamese Mekong Delta.

Different types of land use, practices and management can alter biogeochemical cycling of a piece of land by the effect it produces on soil properties. The conversion of forest land to agricultural land and wastelands to forest land use have been in practice from primordial days due to land hunger and reclamation.

Lagoons are valuable ecosystems providing various services, such as fishing, recreational activities, and land reclamation, as well as hosting high biodiversity. Although lagoons in Turkey cover a coastal area of more than 36,000 ha, few studies of them have been conducted. Therefore, two lagoons (Dalyan and Arapçiftliği) located on the coast of the Sea of Marmara in the Kocaçay Delta, which is under intense anthropogenic pressure, were investigated between November 2013 and March 2015 to examine the effects of environmental factors on taxonomic diversity.

The study about70 lakh hectare area of the country is affected with salinity and alkalinity. A large area of Uttar Pradesh (10.6 lakh ha.) is also affected with salinity spread over in 38 districts. UPLDC (Uttar Pradesh Land Development Corporation) initiated a World Bank sponsored programme “Sodic Land Reclamation Project” in some district on pilot basis in the year 1993 which was extended later on to 10 districts. This project envisaged to reclaim 45,000 ha land during 1994-95 to 2000 through participatory management mechanism.

Nguyen Hoang (1525-1613) is a historic figure who deserved particular credit for the restoration of the Later Le dynasty and set the foundation for the southward territorial expansion and the establishment of “Đàng Trong” (Southern land, the region in Central Vietnam, which was later enlarged to become Cochinchina) during the period of the Nguyen lords. He was highly appreciated in the historical documents of not only the Nguyen but also the Later Le, who were in the mutually antagonistic relationship.

microRNAs (miRNAs) are implicated in plant development processes and play pivotal roles in plant adaptation to environmental stresses. Salicornia europaea, a salt mash euhalophyte, is a suitable model plant to study salt adaptation mechanisms. S. europaea is also a vegetable, forage, and oilseed that can be used for saline land reclamation and biofuel precursor production on marginal lands.

The performances of five biodrainage species were monitored for its soil moisture depletion, groundwater table depression and soil fertility improvement in waterlogged lowland of Indo-Gangetic alluvial plains of West Bengal. The results of the study showed that all biodrainage plantations had differential potential in extracting surplus water from deeper soil layers and consequent recession of groundwater table.

Currently more than 20 per cent of the world’s irrigated land is salt affected. Of that about 60 per cent are sodic soils, warranting attention for efficient, inexpensive and environmentally feasible amelioration. An incubation study was performed to study the influence of amendments on physico-chemical and biological properties of sodic soil. Gypsum + Green manure @ 6.5 t ha-1 , Distillery spentwash (DSW)@ 5 lakhs liter-1 , Green leaf manure (GLM) @ 12.5 t ha-1were used as amendments for the reclamation of sodic soil by adopting standardized reclamation procedure.

Land contamination has been recognised as a challenge to present and future generations resulting from previous industrial and waste disposal practices. This book is a result of the authors’ desire to make sure that the risks from land contamination are effectively understood and adequately managed in a context of wise stewardship of resources. It is written for those embarking on their journey in contaminated land management – those final year undergraduate and postgraduate students pursuing an option in contaminated land.

I have been asked how much of this tale of modern freebooters is true? In exactly which States have such episodes occurred? Have vast herds of sheep been run over battlements? Have animals been bludgeoned to death; have men been burned alive; have the criminals not only gone unpunished but been protected by the law-makers? Have sheriffs "hidden under the bed" and "handy men" bluffed the press? Have vast domains of timber lands been stolen in blocks of thousands and hundreds of thousands of acres through "dummy" entrymen? Have the federal law officers been shot to death above stolen coal min...

Under BLM policy, the agency must periodically review the status of these idle wells to ensure that the operator has legitimate reasons for allowing the wells to remain idle. According to BLM officials, the primary purpose of idle-well reviews is to ensure that these wells do not become orphaned—that is, they lack a bond sufficient to cover reclamation costs and there are no responsible or liable parties to perform reclamation. States have adopted laws and regulations governing oil and gas development on state and private lands, including bond and reclamation requirements.

Final reclamation occurs when an operator determines, and BLM agrees, that a well has no economic value. The terms of final reclamation are included in the lease and the drilling permit. 8 The operator must follow the agreed-upon final reclamation plan, including plugging the wells, removing all visual evidence of the well and drill pad, recontouring the affected land, and revegetating the site with native plant species. In general, the goal is to reclaim the well site so that it matches the surrounding natural environment to the extent possible.

Operators that have obtained a lease must submit an application for a permit to drill to BLM before beginning to prepare land or drilling any new oil or gas wells. The complete permit application package is a lengthy and detailed set of forms and documents, which, among other things, must include proof of bond coverage and a surface use plan of operations; this surface use plan must include a reclamation plan that details the steps operators propose to take to reclaim the site. However, operators generally do not have to submit cost estimates for completing the reclamation.

Irrigation-farming and dry-farming are both systems of agriculture devised for the reclamation of countries that ordinarily receive an annual rainfall of twenty inches or less. Irrigation-farming cannot of itself reclaim the arid regions of the world, for the available water supply of arid countries when it shall have been conserved in the best possible way cannot be made to irrigate more than one fifth of the thirsty land.

The standard requires the land be able to support a range of activities similar to its previous use before oil sands development. There are 420 square kilometers (162 square miles) of land that has been disturbed by oil sands activity—which is just over half of the area of the City of Edmonton, or one third the area of the City of Los Angeles. As of March 2008, approximately 65 square kilometers (25 square miles) are undergoing active reclamation. Industry must submit reclamation plans for approval to the Alberta government, which then issues a final certificate once work...

Alberta is proving that environmental protection and economic development can happen at the same time. The province has shown leadership through legislation and policies involving land reclamation, water controls, air quality, and human and ecosystem health. In the oil sands, current production methods mean that more energy is needed to produce a barrel of oil than conventional oil. But the gap is closing. Technology continues to advance, reducing the energy and environmental impact of oil sands recovery. ...
