[edit] Placing Land Rehabilitation in the right section
One of the things about this subject is that many of the technical terms are used to convey the same meaning, when really there are delicate differences. One other thing is that within this subject area, themes can be either separate in thier own right, or some poeple believe them to be within another field (such as Land Reclamation or Land restoration). I think a simple explination in the first paragraph (which should convey the overall meaning, or argument in the field) as to how common terms from the same subject field differ (with links to relivent pages) would help. I.E. reclamation, restoration etc. Kipple2020 15:56, 11 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Mine rehabilitation
It might be a difference in lexicon between Australian and US usage, but rehabilitation or restoration or reclamation of land disturbed by mining is termed "mine rehabilitation" whereas land reclamation is used for salinity, etc. Again, a subtle difference, but considering the state of the article on reclamation is to do entirely with waste water treatment....some kind of clean up and sorting effort is needed.Rolinator 07:38, 25 August 2007 (UTC)
