Nā te tauraki, te parahanga, me te pikinga o te taupori o te ao kua whakararu i te tukunga o te rauemi tino utu nui o te ao: te wai ma. Ahakoa ka taea e ngā kaipupuri whare te tāutangā pūnaha tātari waiHei tuku wai tātari whakahauora ki tō rātou whānau, he iti noa iho te wai ma.

He waimarie, he maha ngā huarahi hei whakamahi anō i te wai i roto i tō whare me te whakapai ake i te wai mā te whakahaere auaha i ngā wai para. Mā te whakamahi i te iti o te wai ka whakaiti i tō pire ā-marama, ā, ka āwhina i a koe ki te urutau ki ngā āhuatanga tauraki e piki haere ana te kitea i ētahi rohe o te Hononga o Amerika. Anei ā mātou huarahi tino pai ki te hangarua i te wai huri noa i te whare.

Kohikohi Wai

Tuatahi, ka taea e koe te tāuta i ngā pūnaha māmā hei kohikohi i ngā wai para, arā, te "wai hina", huri noa i te whare. Ko te wai hina he wai e whakamahia ana, kāore anō kia pā ki ngā paru, ki ngā wai ehara i te wharepaku rānei. Ka puta te wai hina mai i ngā totohu, i ngā mīhini horoi, me ngā kaukau. Tērā pea kei roto he hinu, he hua horoi, he paru, he kongakonga kai rānei.

Kohia te wai para hei whakamahi anō me tētahi (me te katoa rānei) o ēnei e whai ake nei:

• Pākete kaukau — Ko tētahi o ngā huarahi māmā ki te hopu wai i te kāinga: Puritia he pākete tata ki te waikeri o tō kaukau, ā, waiho kia kī tonu i te wai i a koe e tatari ana kia mahana te wai. Ka kohia e koe he nui o te wai i ia kaukau!
• Ipu ua — He tukanga kotahi te whakatakoto i tētahi ipu ua nui ki raro i te paipa wai o tō rerenga wai, he tukanga uaua ake rānei te tāuta i tētahi pūnaha hopu wai uaua. Ina ua, ka nui te wai hei whakamahi anō.
• Wai totohu — Whakatakotoria he kohua nui ki raro i ngā tātari ina tātarihia te rimurapa, ina horoi rānei i ngā hua me ngā huawhenua i roto i te totohu o tō kīhini. He nui ngā matūkai i roto i te wai rimurapa, ā, he mea pai mō te whakamakuku i ngā tipu.
• Pūnaha wai hina — Kawea tō hangarua wai ki te taumata e whai ake nei mā te tāuta i tētahi pūnaha paipa wai hina. Ka hurihia e ēnei pūnaha te wai mai i ngā wāhi pēnei i tō paipa kaukau hei whakamahi anō, hei whakakī pea i te tāke o tō wharepaku. Mā te huri i te wai kaukau, te wai horoi kakahu rānei hei whakamahi anō ka hoatu he puna wai hangarua pumau ki a koe.

Me pēhea te whakamahi anō i te wai

Nā, kua riro mai i a koe tēnei wai hina me te wai hangarua katoa — anei te whakamahinga pai.

• Whakamakuku i ngā tipu — Whakamahia te wai kua kohia hei whakamakuku i ngā tipu i roto i ngā kohua, hei whakamakuku i tō kari, hei whakaora hoki i te matomato.
• Horoia tō wharepaku — Ka taea te whakatakoto, te whakawhiti rānei i te wai hina ki roto i tō tāke wharepaku hei whakaiti i te whakamahinga wai. Whakatakotoria he pereki ki roto i tō tāke wharepaku hei penapena wai!
• Waihangahia he māra wai — Ko te wai e rere ana ki roto i te waikeri ua ka rere tika ki te pūnaha waikeri. Ko te māra wai he māra kua whakaritea e whakamahi ana i te ara maori o te wai ua mai i te paipa o tō waikeri hei whakamakuku i ngā tipu me ngā otaota i mua i te taenga atu o te wai ki roto i te waikeri ua.
• Horoia tō waka me ō ara — Whakamahia anō te wai hei horoi i tō ara hīkoi, i tō ara māra rānei. Ka taea hoki e koe te horoi i tō waka ki te wai hina, ka whakaiti nui i te whakamahinga wai katoa.

Tīmata ki te Wai Ma

Mena ka tukatukahia te wai i roto i tō whare hei tango i ngā poke noa pēnei i tengā konganuku taumahamehuakitaKa taea e koe te tino māia ake kei te haumaru tō wai hangarua hei whakamakuku i ngā tipu me ētahi atu mahi huri noa i te whare. He huarahi pai te whakamahi anō i te wai huri noa i te whare hei whakatairanga i te tiaki wai, hei pupuri hoki i te wai tūmatanui kia parakore.
