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 />
