Systems and methods of restoring a lake including dredging, island creation, water treatment, real estate development, computer modeling of environmental conditions, wave height reduction, sediment removal and encapsulation, bathymetry contouring, littoral zone restoration, plant restoration, and/or fish restoration. 1. A system to restore a body of water , comprising:one or more dredgers to remove sediment from a bed of the body of water to increase depth of the body of water; andone or more geotubes to receive and encapsulate sediment removed from the bed of the body of water, the one or more geotubes to be arranged to form a border for one or more islands within the body of water, the one or more islands positioned to at least one of (i) disrupt wind patterns across a surface of the body of water, (ii) reduce fetch length, and (iii) impede wave action, wherein the one or more dredgers pump sediment to fill the geotubes, andwherein the one or more dredgers pump sediment to provide island material to infill the border formed by the geotubes for each of the one or more islands to construct the one or more islands.2. The system of claim 1 , further comprising computer modeling to model:the wind patterns across a surface of the body of water;wave action of the body of water; andforce exerted by waves on the bed of the body of water.3. The system of claim 1 , wherein each of the one or more geotubes comprises geotextile material configured to allow passage of water and to retain the sediment received therein.4. The system of claim 1 , wherein the one or more dredgers are further to claim 1 , when pumping sediment to fill the geotube claim 1 , drive water out of the one or more geotubes to consolidate and compress the sediment.5. The system of claim 1 , further comprising one or more premanufactured vertical drains (PVDs) to be positioned within the island material of the one or more islands to facilitate dewatering of island material and aid compaction of the one or ...
