English translation:undulating land modification reclamation
Explanation:
The expression "land reclamation in arranged natural slop(e)" as seen below does not sound to be natural English, and so I'd like to suggest "undulating land modification reclamation" as an alternative.

improved Yamanari reclamation/method


Explanation:
It's a method. I found a couple of references to this, or variations of it, but since most of them were on Japanese sites, I'm not sure there's an exact translation.
