a. Local wastewater discharge in Arctic regions
b. Wastewater discharge at latitudes below the Arctic circle
c. Both of the above

4. When developing a wastewater handling system, the general distribution of investment cost
between the collection system (piping) and treatment is (based on Norwegian) figures:
