Management of headwaters aims at achieving good ecological status, and global, European and local options exist for improving the quality of acidified waters along the west coast of Norway. Norwegian headwaters are often considered clean as they are situated in areas far from or up-stream of large pollution sources. However, long-range transported air pollution has impacted surface waters in southern Norway for decades, and the resulting acidification and die-back of thousands of fish populations are widely known.
