| drinking water (Water that is agreeable to drink, does not present health hazards and whose quality is normally regulated by legislation) | drikkevann | |
| drinking water protection area (Area surrounding a water recovery plant in which certain forms of soil utilization are restricted or prohibited in order to protect the groundwater) | drikkevannsvernområde | |

| drinking water treatment (The Directive on the Quality of Surface Water Intended for Drinking Water defines three categories of water treatment (A1, A2, A3) from simple physical treatment and disinfection to intensive physical and chemical treatment. The treatment to be used depends on the quality of the water abstracted. The Directive uses imperative values for parameters known to have an adverse effect on health and also guide values for those which are less adverse. There is also a directive which complements the "surface water abstraction" Directive by indicating the methods of measurement and the frequency of sampling and analysis required) | drikkevannsbehandling | |
| drought (A period of abnormally dry weather sufficiently prolonged so that the lack of water causes a serious hydrologic imbalance (such as crop damage, water supply shortage) in the affected area) | tørke | |
