Table 5 Stratigraphy of the Corantijn Group<br />

According to Noordam and Teunissen the Zanderij aquifer, at 30-70 m, is not being used for<br />

drinking water supply in the <strong>Weg</strong> <strong>naar</strong> <strong>Zee</strong> area, because the water is brackish.<br />

They also state that the Coesewijne and A-Sand aquifers consist of non-consolidated and<br />

consolidated clastic sediments of clay, sandy clay, and coarse-grained sandstone. Depth to the<br />

Coesewijne aquifer ranges from 70 to 110 meters and depth to the A-Sand aquifers ranges up to<br />

180 meters. For the study area fresh water is only available in the southwestern part. Drinking<br />

water stations withdraw water from the Coesewijne and A-Sand aquifers south of the study area<br />

(Former Landsboerderij-Leysweg, Uitkijk and Zorg en Hoop).<br />

Saline water zones underlie the fresh water zones in the coastal area and caution should be<br />

exercised while pumping to prevent saline water intrusion.<br />
