What is wasteland reclamation? and how it related to environment studies? 

Best Answ

Reclaiming lands that have been laid waste in an extraction or industrial process is "wasteland reclamation." Strip-mining coal produces wastelands. Using chemicals in an industrial process, then dumping the used chemicals either on the land or into a stream creates wastelands. Or releasing chemicals into the air in an industrial process can create waste lands. Sometimes, just running an industrial process, particularly when there is no regulation of its wastes, can create wastelands. And finally, nuclear accidents can create wastelands. 

You might want to research Copperhill, Tennessee, as a place that underwent reclamation and regained a life. You might want to research "strip mining" as a method of creating wastelands in the first place, as well as "Chernobyl," the site of a nuclear accident in Russia, "Three Mile Island," the site of a nuclear accident in the U.S.A. and "Love Canal," the site of chemical dumps that caused a huge increase in illness for those who lived nearby. Look up "coal combustion wastes" or see this story for information about a disaster and an ongoing danger.

If you're making a presentation and you need sound effects, I'd recommend John Prine's "Paradise," also covered by John Denver (lyrics here: http://www.cowboylyrics
