A change to the New Zealand Code of Practice for the Design and Operation of Farm Dairies (NZCP1) allows farmers to use Farm Dairy Effluent (FDE) water for yard wash-down, so long as strict guidelines and criteria are followed. Recycling FDE water for yard wash-down can significantly reduce fresh water use and the volume of effluent which needs to be managed.
