What is land reclamation?

When I google this, it talks about “creating” land. How is that even possible to just create a land on the sea?

Hello! speaking while living 5 meter below sealevel in “reclaimed” land.

They build dikes, making it like a huge pond. then pump out the water and voila, land reclaimed.

Obviously, you need to keep pumping out water but in a lesser extend then to empty it in the first place.

The other way is to keep dumping sand and rocks in one place till you get an island.
