Ahakoa he tika taketake te urunga atu ki te wai inu mā, kei te piki haere te maha o ngā rohe e pāngia ana e ngā wero o te korenga o ngā rauemi wai inu. Kāore i te herea noa ki ngā whenua whakawhanake te wero o te urunga atu ki te wai ma, haumaru hoki – kei te pāngia anō hoki te Hononga o Amerika me Ūropi e ngā wero mō te wai inu, pērā i ngā āwangawanga hauora, ngā poke, te reka, ngā take taiao, me te haunga.

Ko te rongo pai, ka taea e te pūnaha horoi wai o te whare te āwhina i a koe ki te wikitoria i ēnei wero, me te whakarite kia ma te wai inu mai i te puna. I roto i tēnei tuhinga, ka whakamāramahia e mātou ngā take e rima e hiahia ana koe ki te horoi i tō wai inu.

1 Tāpirihia he paparanga haumarutanga anō

I te nuinga o ngā whenua ahumahi, he tino whai hua ngā pūnaha maimoatanga wai ā-tāone. Heoi, kāore e kore ka taea te whakakore i te maimoatanga wai tūmatanui. Kei te piki haere te maha o ngā aituā i uru ai ngā poke mai i te parahanga, te mata mai i ngā paipa wai tawhito, ngā paipa wai pakaru rānei, ngā toenga rānei mai i te whakamahinga o ngā patu pepeke ki roto i te wai puna. Ka taea hoki e ngā āhuatanga huarere rerekē, pērā i te ua nui, te whakararu i ngā whakaurunga maimoatanga wai ā-tāone.

Nō reira, ehara i te mea he take kore te hiahia kia tāpirihia he paparanga haumarutanga hei tāpiri atu ki tō maimoatanga wai ā-rohe, ā-tāone rānei. Ka taea tēnei mā te whakamahi i tētahi taputapu horoi wai ā-whare ka taea te tango i te tini o ngā poke o te wai, ā, ka āwhina kia kore ai koe e inu wai kino.

2 Tangohia ngā poke kāore e hiahiatia

Ka uru te mata, ngā patu pepeke, ngā huakita, ngā huaketo me te maha atu o ngā matū me ngā matū ā-tinana, ā-matū, ā-koiora me ā-irahiko ki roto i te puna wai. He mea tino uaua ki te tango i ngā toenga poke katoa mai i tō wai, nō reira ka whakahaerehia e ngā mana whakahaere wai ā-rohe te nui o tētahi matū e whakaaetia ana kia uru ki roto i te wai.

Ahakoa he wai haumaru te inu e tutuki ana i ēnei paerewa, tera pea he hiahia anō tōu mō te nui o ngā poke e pai ana ki a koe kia inumia i roto i tō wai. Mā te purenga wai tūmataiti koe e whakatakoto i ō ake rohe.

3 Tiakina tō hauora

Mā te inu wai kei roto ngā huakita me ngā huaketo ka pāngia koe e ngā mate kino pērā i te mate korere, te korara me te mate korere. Mena kei te noho koe i tētahi rohe e mōrearea ana ēnei mate, ko te huarahi tino whai hua hei tiaki i a koe ko te whakamahi i te wai purenga osmosis whakamuri.

Ko te rahi o ngā pūwero o ngā kiriuhi e whakamahia ana mō te osmosis whakamuri ka inehia i roto i te nanometer, he iti nei hei aukati i te huaketo me te huakita. Hei tāpiri, ka tangohia hoki e te osmosis whakamuri ngā poke matū noa, pērā i te konutai, te pūhaumāota, te parahi me te mata.

4 Whakaitihia te kirihou hei tiaki i te taiao

E miriona pea te nui o te wai pounamu e whakamahia ana i ia tau puta noa i te ao. E 35 ōrau o ngā tāngata o Ūropi (50 miriona whare) kāore e inu ana i ā rātou wai puna, ā, kua piki ake te whakamahinga o te wai pounamu neke atu i te 10 ōrau i te tau i roto i te tekau tau kua hipa. I te nuinga o te wā, e kiia ana he watea te wai pounamu nā te mea he ngāwari ki te kawe. Engari he raruraru me te utu nui mō te taiao taua watea. Ko ngā utu pēnei i te parahanga e pā ana ki te hanga kirihou, te pūngao, me te kawe waka, tae atu ki te whakamahinga wai tāpiri, ka waiho te wai pounamu hei whiringa wai inu kāore e taea te pupuri.

Ehara i te mea he iti te utu o te inu wai puna, engari he pai hoki mō te taiao. E ai ki te Komihana o Ūropi, mā te whakamahi i te wai kounga pai ake ka taea te whakaiti i te whakamahinga wai pounamu mā te 17%. Mā te tāuta i tētahi pūnaha horoi wai kāinga, ka taea e ngā kaihoko te whakamahi i te wai inu ma i roto tonu i te kāinga i runga i te huarahi pai mō te taiao.

5 Whakapai ake i te reka me te kakara o tō wai tap

Ko te inu i te wai māori, mārama hoki, he reka whakahauora, ā, kāore he haunga kino, ka pā nui ki tō oranga me te kounga o te oranga. Ko tētahi o ngā amuamu tino noa mō te reka o te wai tap ko te chlorine, he patu huakita nui e whakamahia ana puta noa i te ao. Mō te haunga, ko te mea tino whakarihariha ko te hauwai whanariki. He haunga hua pirau tōna.

Ehara i te mea ka āwhina noa te purenga wai ki te tango i ngā mea kino e ārai ana i te wai, engari ka whakapai ake hoki i te reka, te kakara me te āhua o tō wai inu. Ka whakaitihia te nui o te chlorine, te toenga oneone, me ngā matū waro me ngā matū kore-waro.

I te katoa, he haumitanga te whakapai wai ki tō hauora, ki te taiao, ā, he huarahi mohio hoki ki te whakaiti i te nui o te moni e pau ana ki te wai pounamu.
