I roto i te ao o ngā taputapu hou, ko tētahi taputapu e kitea nuitia ana mō tōna whai huatanga me tōna maha o ngā whakamahinga ko te **pūwero wai wera me te makariri**. Kua noho tēnei taputapu kiato engari he kaha hei taputapu matua i roto i ngā kāinga, i ngā tari, me ētahi atu wāhi, e tuku ana i te urunga tere ki te wai wera me te makariri mā te pēhi i te pātene.

He taputapu te ipu wai papamahi kua hangaia kia pai te whakanoho ki runga i te papa kaute, i te tēpu rānei. Ahakoa tōna rahi iti, he kaha, e whakarato ana i te wai wera me te wai matao ina hiahiatia. Nā tēnei mahi takirua, he taputapu tino nui tēnei mō ngā momo hiahia, mai i te hanga kawhe tere ki te whakamama i te matewai me te inu matao.

Ko te painga matua o te mīhini wai wera me te mīhini matao papamahi ko te urunga tere ki te wai i ngā pāmahana rerekē. Kua kore ngā rā e tatari ana kia koropupū te ipu wai, kia whakamatao rānei te pouaka whakamātao i tō wai. Mēnā he mīhini wai papamahi, he pēhi noa i te pātene te pāmahana wai e hiahiatia ana e koe.

He iti te wāhi e whakamahia ana e te mīhini whakaputa wai papamahi, nā te mea he iti te wāhi, he iti hoki te rahi. Ahakoa he kīhini iti, he rūma moe, he tari pukumahi rānei, mā tēnei taputapu ka taea e koe te whakamahi i te wai wera me te wai matao, ā, kāore e nui te wāhi e pau ana.

Ko te nuinga o ngā ipu wai papamahi o ēnei rā he mea hanga kia pai ai te penapena hiko. He iti ake te hiko e pau ana i ngā tikanga tuku iho mō te whakamahana me te whakamatao i te wai, ā, ka taea te penapena i ngā pire hiko i roto i te wā.

Mā te whai i tētahi ipu wai e tata ana ki ō ringaringa ka āwhina i te inu wai i ia wā, he mea nui tēnei hei pupuri i te wai. He tino whai hua tēnei i ngā wāhi tari, ina kore pea ngā kaimahi e inu wai nā te pukumahi o ā rātou mahi.

I tēnei ao tere o ēnei rā, he mea nui te mahi a te mīhini whakaputa wai wera me te wai matao. Ka whakatutukihia e ia te hiahia mō te makona tere, me te whakatairanga i ngā tikanga hauora pēnei i te inu wai auau. Heoi anō, ko tōna whai huatanga pūngao e hangai ana ki te aro nui ki te oranga tonutanga me te tiaki rauemi.

Hei whakamutunga, ehara i te mea he mea ngāwari noa iho te whakamahi i te mīhini wai wera me te wai matao i runga i te papamahi—he tohu hoki tēnei i te tawhiti kua tae mai tātou ki te ao hangarau me te auahatanga. E whakaatu ana i te taurite i waenga i te whaihua me te pumau, ā, he mea nui tēnei hei taputapu i roto i ngā kāinga me ngā tari o ēnei rā.
