Draft:Land reclamation in Bahrain

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Land reclamation in Bahrain refers to the process of creating land that is ecologically sustainable and green from previously deserted areas in Bahrain and artificial constructions of the sea, supported by the House of Khalifa.

The main Bahrain Island is about 990 square kilometres (380 sq mi); however, it took less than two decades for the coastal zone of Bahrain to increase by about 40 square kilometres (15 sq mi). This added land has been dredged from the seabed in massive land reclamation projects.[1]

Also includes the area of Durrat al-Bahrain.
