peer agreement (net): +6tap water Explanation: Vann hentet fra springen, springvann. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2003-08-17 14:54:32 (GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Oh...suddenly realized what exactly you were asking here. It should still be tap water, though. What it may be referring to, is water meant for drinking as it is, ie. \"drikkevann\". -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2003-08-17 15:14:49 (GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Final note..heh...\"springvann\" refers to water from the tap, yes. In a biochemical context, it seems that you only have two main categories of water (when it comes to water samples): tap water - regardless of where it originates, the sample is of water from the tap = springvann surface water - the sample is taken from an open water source = overflatevann This seems to be the two major distinctions when it comes to water samples, hence \"springvann\" should be tap water. |
