niques for recognizing and controlling water and wastes suchand data interpretation the authors hope the materials pre- as monitoring employee training management action programssented will assist the extension specialist in helping thedairy plant manager develop an effective water and wastecontrol program.Thus this guide can be a tool to helpextension specialists and food processors alleviate presentmisunderstandings and avoid future problems.In addition this guide can aid in bringing together representatives frommutual interest in reducing water pollution.
This guide should be valuable not only to extension special-ists for which it was prepared but also for food processorsandregulatory officials charged with the review and approvalwaters but also to municipal wastewater treatment systems.
The subject of this guide is the management and control ofwater use and waste discharge in dairy processing with emphasis on necessary legal sanitary environmental andenergy factors.This specific document emphasizes pollutioncontributors in dairy plants; management control techniquesee training;proven techniques toreduce water use in dairyprocessing:proven techniques to reduce wastes in dairyprocessing and detailed questions management must answerbefore effectively controlling water and waste in foodprocessing.
Limitations:This document emphasizes the techniques for water and wastecontrol in the typical fluid milk cottage cheese and icecheese condensed，evaporated are not specifically identi-fied.The management control program is directed at mediumto large sized plants and may have to be modified dependingon plant size，product mix，etc.
