I tōna pūtake, he mea hanga te mīhini tuku wai kia māmā ake te tiki wai. Ahakoa he kapu tī wera i te ata makariri, he karāhe wai matao whakahauora i te rā werawera, he inu noa rānei hei pupuri i te wai, ka tukuna e ēnei mīhini te wai i te pāmahana tino tika mā te pēhi noa i te pātene.

Ko tētahi o ngā painga nui o ngā mīhini tuku wai ko ōna painga hauora. He maha ngā tauira hou e whai pūnaha tātari matatau ana, pērā i te osmosis whakamuri, ngā tātari waro, te whakahoromata ultraviolet rānei. Ka tangohia e ēnei hangarau ngā paru, ngā poke, me ngā moroiti kino mai i te wai, kia ma ai, kia haumaru ai hoki ia pata wai e inuhia ana e koe. Mā te whakakore i te hiahia mō te wai pounamu, e mau ana pea he iti noa ngā matū kirihou pērā i te BPA, ka whai wāhi hoki ngā mīhini tuku wai ki tētahi momo oranga hauora.

Mai i te tirohanga taiao, he mea nui ngā taputapu tuku wai. Kua eke te raruraru parahanga kirihou o te ao ki ngā taumata whakamataku, me ngā piriona pounamu wai kirihou e mutu ana ki ngā whenua ururua, ki ngā moana, me ētahi atu taiao i ia tau. Mā te whiriwhiri i tētahi taputapu tuku wai ka tino whakaitihia te para kirihou, nā te mea ka taea e koe te whakamahi i ngā pounamu, i ngā kapu rānei ka taea te whakamahi anō. Ko ētahi tauira ka tautoko i ngā ipu wai nui ka taea te whakakī anō, ka whakaitihia te pānga ki te taiao.

He maha ngā momo o ngā taputapu tuku wai e wātea ana i runga i te mahi. He maha ngā momo kei te mākete, e whakatutuki ana i ngā hiahia me ngā manakohanga rerekē. He pai ngā tauira papa kaute mō ngā wāhi iti, ngā whare rānei, e whakarato ana i tētahi otinga kiato me te kore e whakaiti i te watea. Ko ngā tauira tū motuhake, i tētahi atu taha, he tino pai mō ngā tari nui, mō ngā kāinga rānei, e tuku ana i te kaha rokiroki wai nui ake, ā, he maha ngā wā ka whakaatuhia ngā kōwhiringa wai wera me te wai matao. Hei tāpiri, ko ētahi tauira matatau kei a rātou ngā āhuatanga tāpiri pēnei i te mahi kore pa, ngā raka haumaru tamariki, me ngā tohu kounga wai kua hangaia ki roto.

Heoi, pērā i ngā taputapu katoa, he mea nui te tiaki tika kia roa ai te ora me te mahi a tō pūwero wai. He mea nui te horoi me te whakakapi i ngā tātari i ia wā hei ārai i te kohikohinga o ngā huakita me te pupuri i te kounga o te wai. He maha ngā kaihanga e whakarato ana i ngā aratohu tiaki taipitopito, me mātua whai mārire.

Hei whakamutunga, ehara i te mea he huarahi watea noa iho ngā ipu wai. He haumitanga ēnei ki tō tātou hauora, ki te taiao, me te kounga whānui o te oranga. Nā te ngāwari o te whakamahi, ngā āheinga tātari matatau, me ngā āhuatanga hoa-taiao, kua tino whiwhi rātou i tō rātou tūranga hei taputapu nui i roto i ngā whare me ngā wāhi mahi hou. Nō reira, i te wā e whai ake nei ka inu koe i tō ipu wai, tangohia he wā ki te mihi ki tēnei toa rongonui e ngāwari ai te noho wai.​
