Irrigatie uit een moeras : een hydrologische studie van de Nannizwamp in Suriname
1977
Sevenhuijsen, R.J.
Tropical Swamp areas are sometimes suitable for agricultural expansion. In Suriname reclamation of relatively small parts of the coastal swamp has been carried out for centuries. Many of these polders are abandoned or have been made suitable for (wet) rice cultivation. For further development of this type of rice culture more knowledge of hydrology and oecology of the swamps is required.This study of the Nanni Swamp in N. Suriname covers the following subjects: catchment are survey, water balance of the swamp area, water movement through the overgrown reservoir, irrigation possibilities for rice culture and the influence on the swamp vegetation. Although many details remained unclear a satisfactory understanding of the hydrology of the area was obtained. Knowledge of the potential and the limitations could lead to further development of the area, and can also provide data relevant to situations elsewhere.
