Summary, etc. This book examines situations necessitating choice of the land reclamation option in the process of environmental control and management. It provides policy makers, planners, earth scientists and land developers with techniques which have been found useful in the development of land-use policies and realisation of projects planned for sites requiring land reclamation.<br/>The book briefly recounts the experience of the western developed countries which have benefited substantially from land reclamation schemes after reviewing the need for land reclamation in the strategic contexts of human needs for land and national development. For both students and professionals, the critical issues in land development are the efficient collection of field and laboratory data and their skillful employment in the provision of viable project engineering designs.<br/><br/>The more common techniques for obtaining such vital information are summarised at various levels of detail. The one unique feature which this book aims to present is the combination of social science research techniques with the conventional techniques of science and engineering. Experience in third world development has shown that wrong forecasts of population, extent of needs and aspects of social aspiration and progress have led to the failure of several expensive and otherwise laudable development projects. Such projects require the estimation of population size and distribution for their effective planning.
