Cattle grazing land (pastures)<br />
Large pastures for cattle grazing are only found in an area west of the Henri Fernandesweg (<strong>Weg</strong><br />
<strong>naar</strong> <strong>Zee</strong>) and at the Gummels farm.<br />
Mr. Dassasingh is a big farmer with about 200 cattle. Also the Rodrigues family has large cattle<br />
numbers of about 200.<br />
Smaller pastures are present within the dry cropping zone.<br />
Housing development<br />
North of Paramaribo several new housing projects are being developed. On the maps these areas<br />
have been indicated as part of Paramaribo. Eureka project has a new housing development with<br />
most people that recently have to come to live there (6 months-2 years).<br />
Shell and sand excavation<br />
Shells, shell-grit, shell-sand and sand have been or are still being excavated from ridges in the<br />
<strong>Weg</strong> <strong>naar</strong> <strong>Zee</strong> area. The excavation results in 2-4 meter deep holes, which fill up with water after<br />
abandonment of the site. Older lakes gradually become overgrown by (aquatic) plants, which<br />
form muck that slowly fills the shallow lakes. North of Paramaribo shell pits have been filled in<br />
with household waste, which subsequently were covered with sand to form building land.<br />
These holes form suitable environment for the development of the Bilharzia snails<br />
(Biomphalaria glabrata), the transmitter of the Bilharzia disease.<br />
