Recreation

Japanese: reclamation
Recreation

...the act of piling up land above the water level to create land that is higher than the high tide level for use as land. This is different from reclamation, which is the process of cutting off the water level with a dike or other structure, draining the water inside, and simply creating land, but in English both are called reclamation.

This method is called reclamation. This method eliminates the time and waste of forcing plants into areas where planting is not possible, and also creates new benefits for the land by reusing the sites. …
