1.2.WATER QUALITY, ECOSYSTEMS AND HUMAN HEALTH Although most fresh water is of satisfactory quality, the government has during the last 15 years been encouraging water works to increase the proportion of groundwater in drinking water supplies for environmental reasons, to cut costs and to reduce the risk to public health from contamination. Special restrictions on land use are used to protect drinking water sources from pollution. Financial compensation is provided where such restrictions are in force. Norway has built several Country Overview - Norway wastewater treatment plants with secondary treatment (chemical purification) over the last few years, and a secondary phase is planned for all treatment plants with a hydraulic capacity of more than 2,000 population equivalents that discharge treated water to freshwater recipients. Acidification is still a serious problem in Norway, and causes fish deaths and corrosion problems. Ninety per cent of the pollution that causes acidification originates abroad. The Convention on Long-Range Transboundary Air Pollution is now sharply reducing it.
