Land Reclamation in Bombay

Land Reclamation in Bombay: The seven islands of Bombay were joined into one landmass over a period of time. The project started in 1784. The Bombay Governor William Hornby approved the building of the great sea wall to prevent the flood in low-lying areas of Bombay. The growing commercial needs made reclamation of Bombay necessary. The problem of scarcity of land was solved through different reclamation projects.
