One of the most important conditions, having a significant impact on the feasibility of a land reclamation project, is the availabihty of sufficient suitable fill material within a reasonable haulage distance to the project location. In most cases special borrow areas are allocated for the supply of fill material, but fill may also have to be retrieved from capital or maintenance dredging. For instance in harbour projects, deepening of basins or approach channels are often combined with reclamation projects. 

The available quantity of fill material in the borrow area may affect the size of the reclamation. The quality of that material will have its bearing on the fill
