Nā te mea he mutunga kore te wai kua tātarihia, he kōwhiringa pai hoki mō te kāinga, mō te tari rānei mō te hunga e hiahia ana ki tētahi mīhini tuku wai kore pounamu me ngā mahi tāutanga ngāwari.
Ka tohatohahia e tēnei pūwero wai te wai matao, te wai wera me te wai pāmahana rūma, ka tātarihia mā te pūnaha tātari rua. Kei roto i ngā tātari ngā tātari paru me ngā tātari poraka waro e tango ana i ngā poke pērā i te mata, te matūriki, te haukini, me ngā kakara me ngā reka kino.
Kāore he painga o te kawe haere i tētahi puna wai katoa, nō reira, mō te puni me ētahi atu āhuatanga i tawhiti atu i te kāinga, whakaarohia he papu ipu wai kawe. Ka piri tika te papu pounamu wai Myvision ki te tihi o tētahi peere kotahi karani. Ka taea te whakauru i ngā pounamu 1 ki te 5 karani, mena he 2.16 inihi te roa o te kaki o te pounamu (rahi paerewa).

He iti noa atu ngā āhuatanga hei whakaaroaro māu i te wā e whiriwhiri ana i tētahi ipu wai. He āhuatanga noa ō ngā ipu wai pai rawa atu: he ngāwari ki te whakamahi, he ngāwari ki te horoi, ā, ka tukuna te wai i te pāmahana tika, ahakoa he wera, he makariri hoki. Me ātaahua hoki te āhua o ngā pouaka whakamātao pai rawa atu, ā, me rite te rahi ki te wāhi e hiahiatia ana. Anei ētahi āhuatanga hei whakaaroaro māu i te wā e whiriwhiri ana i tētahi ipu wai.
E rua ngā momo matua o ngā whakamatao wai: ko ngā whakamatao wā-whakamahi me ngā whakamatao pounamu. Ka hono tika ngā ipu wai wā-whakamahi ki te puna wai o te whare, ka tukuna te wai puna, e tātarihia ana mā te pouaka whakamatao. Ka tukuna ngā whakamatao wai pounamu mai i tētahi pounamu wai nui, ka taea te uta ki runga, ki raro rānei.
Ka honoa tika ngā pouaka whakamatao wai ki te puna wai o te tāone. Ka tukuna te wai mai i te puna wai, nō reira kāore e hiahiatia he pounamu wai, koia i ētahi wā ka kiia ai he pouaka tuku wai "kore pounamu".
He maha ngā ipu wai e whakamahia ana he tikanga tātari hei tango i ngā matū, hei whakapai ake rānei i te reka o te wai. Ko te painga matua o tēnei momo whakamatao wai ko te whakarato i te wai tonu (me te kore e raru te paipa wai matua). Ka taea te whakairi i ēnei ipu ki te pakitara, te tū motuhake rānei i te tūranga poutū.
Me hono ngā ipu wai ki te puna wai matua o te whare. Ko ētahi me tāutanga ngaio, ā, ka nui ake ngā utu. Ahakoa he nui ake te utu mō te hoko me te tāuta, ka penapena moni ngā ipu wai kore pounamu i te wā roa nā te mea kāore e hiahiatia he puna wai pounamu auau. He iti ake hoki te utu i ngā pūnaha tātari wai o te whare katoa. Ko te whai huatanga o te ipu wai ko tōna painga matua: ka whiwhi ngā kaiwhakamahi i te puna wai tonu me te kore e kawe, e whakawhiti rānei i ngā pounamu wai taumaha.
Ka whiwhi wai ngā ipu wai utaina raro i te wai mai i ngā pounamu wai. Kei roto i tētahi wāhanga kua taupokina te pounamu wai i te haurua o raro o te pouaka whakamātao. Mā te hoahoa utaina raro ka māmā ake te whakakī. Engari i te hiki ake me te huri i tētahi pounamu taumaha (pērā i te pouaka whakamātao utaina-runga), rūrū noa te pounamu ki roto i te wāhanga ka hono atu ki te papu.
Nā te mea he wai pounamu kei roto i ngā pouaka whakamatao uta raro, ka taea e rātou te tuku atu i ētahi atu momo wai, pērā i te wai kohuke, te wai kua whakakorengia, me te wai puna, hei tāpiri atu ki te wai puna. Ko tētahi atu painga o ngā pouaka whakamatao wai uta raro ko te ātaahua ake i ngā pouaka whakamatao uta runga nā te mea kei te huna te tāke whakakī kirihou mai i te tirohanga i roto i te wāhanga o raro. Mō taua take anō, whakaarohia te whakamahi i tētahi pouaka whakamatao wai uta raro me te tohu taumata wai, ka māmā ake te tirotiro ina hiahiatia he pounamu wai hou.
He mea rongonui ngā pouaka whakamatao wai uta-runga nā te mea he tino utu tika. E ai ki te ingoa, ka uru te pounamu wai ki roto i te tihi o te pouaka whakamatao wai. Nā te mea i ahu mai te wai i roto i te ipu wai, ka taea hoki te whakarato i te wai kua whakakorea, te wai kohuke me te wai puna.
Ko te ngoikoretanga nui o ngā mīhini tuku wai uta-runga ko te tango me te uta i ngā pounamu wai, he mahi uaua pea tēnei mō ētahi tāngata. Ahakoa kāore ētahi e pai ki te titiro ki te tāke wai tuwhera o te pouaka whakamatao uta-runga, he ngāwari noa iho te whakahaere i te taumata wai i roto i te tāke.
He iti noa iho ngā ipu wai papa, he iti noa iho hei whakauru ki runga i tō papa. Pērā i ngā ipu wai papa, ka taea te whakamahi i ngā ipu wai papa, te tango wai rānei i roto i te pounamu.
He mea kawe ngā ipu wai kei runga i te tēpu, ā, he mea pai mō ngā kaute kīhini, ngā rūma okiokinga, ngā rūma tatari tari me ētahi atu wāhi he iti noa te wāhi. Heoi, he nui te wāhi e nohoia ana e rātou, ā, he raruraru pea tēnei i roto i ngā rūma he iti te wāhi tēpu.
Kāore he rohe mana mō ngā pouaka whakamatao wai i te wā e whakamahia ana—ka tukuna te wai e ēnei pouaka whakamatao i te roanga o te rere. He mea nui te kaha hei whakaaroaro māu i te wā e whiriwhiri ana i tētahi pouaka whakamatao wai pounamu. He maha ngā pouaka whakamatao e whakaae ana ki ngā ipu e pupuri ana i waenga i te 2 me te 5 karani wai (ko ngā rahi e tino kitea ana ko ngā pounamu 3 me te 5 karani).
I te wā e whiriwhiri ana i tētahi ipu e tika ana, whakaarohia te auau o te whakamahinga o te pouaka whakamatao wai. Mena ka whakamahia pinepinetia tō pouaka whakamatao, hoko mai i tētahi pouaka whakamatao nui ake te kaha kia kore ai e tere te mimiti. Mena ka iti ake te whakamahinga o tō pouaka whakamatao, whiriwhiria tētahi e taea ai te whakauru i ngā pounamu iti. He pai ake te kaua e waiho te wai mō te wā roa, nā te mea ka taea e te wai tau te noho hei wāhi whakatupu huakita.
He rerekē te kaha e pau ana i te mīhini tuku wai, i runga i te tauira. He iti ake te kaha e whakamahia ana e ngā pouaka whakamatao wai me ngā āheinga whakamatao, whakamahana rānei ina hiahiatia, i ngā pouaka whakamatao wai me ngā tāke rokiroki wai wera me te matao. Ko ngā pouaka whakamatao rokiroki wai he nui ake te kaha rahui e whakamahia ana e rātou hei pupuri i te pāmahana o te wai i roto i te tāke.
