Hei kaiwhakamahi i te pūnaha whakamatao wai ahumahi, e mōhio ana pea koe me whakawhiti te wai i muri i te whakamahinga o te whakamatao mō tētahi wā. Engari e mōhio ana koe he aha?
Āe, ko te whakawhiti wai tētahi o ngā mahi tiaki tino nui mō ngā mīhini whakamatao wai ahumahi.
Nā te mea i te wā e mahi ana te mīhini taiaho, ka puta he wera nui mai i te pūtake taiaho, ā, me whakamahi he pouaka whakamatao wai ahumahi hei tango i te wera. I te wā e rere ana te wai i waenga i te pouaka whakamatao me te pūtake taiaho, ka puta mai ētahi momo puehu, whakakī whakarewa me ētahi atu poke. Ki te kore e whakakapia tēnei wai poke ki te wai ma e rere ana i ia wā, tera pea ka āraia te awa wai i roto i te pouaka whakamatao wai ahumahi, ka pā ki te mahi noa o te pouaka whakamatao.
Ka puta anō hoki tēnei momo ārai i roto i te awa wai i roto i te pūtake taiaho, ka puhoi ake te rere o te wai, ā, ka ngoikore ake te mahi whakamatao. Nō reira, ka pāngia hoki te putanga taiaho me te kounga o te mārama taiaho, ā, ka poto ake te roa o tōna ora.
Mai i te tātaritanga kua whakahuatia ake nei, ka kitea he mea nui te kounga o te wai, ā, he mea nui te whakawhiti i te wai i ia wā. Nō reira, he aha te momo wai e tika ana kia whakamahia? Āe, he wai parakore, he wai ma, he wai whakakorekore rānei, he wai whakakorekore rānei. Nā te mea he iti noa ngā katote me ngā poke o ēnei momo wai, ā, ka taea te whakaiti i te aukati i roto i te pouaka whakamatao. Mō te auau whakawhiti wai, e taunakihia ana kia whakawhitia i ia 3 marama. Engari mō te taiao puehu, e taunakihia ana kia whakawhitia i ia 1 marama, i ia haurua rānei o te marama.
