From
http://www.ngw.nl/heraldrywiki/index.php?title=Lom:
"The arms show three spades used to scoop water from the irrigation channels
typical for the area. The area is one of the driest in Norway, but the
soil is good for agriculture. It thus needs irrigation. In the 17th century a
system was developed in which melting water from the mountains was transported
to the area using wooden channels or aqueducts. The water was further
divided using irrigation channels."
