kilde spring (A place where ground water flows naturally from a rock or the soil onto the land surface or into a body of surface water; hydrology, land)
kildeseparering separation at source (Segregating various wastes at the point of generation (e.g. separation of paper, metal and glass from other wastes) to make recycling simpler and more efficient)
kildesortering sorting at source (The classification and separation of solid waste, according to type, at the location where it is generated)
kildevann spring water (Water obtained from an underground formation from which water flows naturally to the surface, or would flow naturally to the surface if it were not collected underground)
kimplasma germ plasm (The hereditary material transmitted to the offspring via the gametes)
kinofilm cinematographic film (Any motion picture of a story, drama, episode or event, often considered as an art form or used as a medium for entertainment)
kirke church (A building for religious activities)
kiselalge diatom (Unicellular algae, some of which are colonial, green or brownish in colour (but all contain chlorophyll) and with siliceous and often highly sculptured cell walls. Diatoms make up much of the producer level in marine and freshwater food chains, and they have contributed to the formation of oil reserves. Deposits of diatomaceous earths were formed by the accumulation of diatom cell walls)
kjæledyr pet (An animal which is kept in the home as a companion and treated affectionately)
kjele boiler (An enclosed vessel in which water is heated and circulated, either as hot water or as steam, for heating or power)
