Te parahanga o te wai inu, he pēhea te tūponotanga ki te hauora?

E whakaatu ana ētahi hua rangahau he maha ngā mate pukupuku e puta mai ana i ngā matū whakaputa mate pukupuku i roto i te taiao. Tae noa ki tēnei wā, kua neke atu i te 2,100 te tapeke o ngā poke matū e kitea ana i roto i te wai inu i te Hononga o Amerika, ā, 97 o ēnei kua tautuhia he mate pukupuku, ā, kua whakapaetia he mate pukupuku, 133 anō he poke whakaputa matū, he poke whakaputa pukupuku, he poke paitini rānei, ko te 90% e toe ana o ngā poke kāore he mate pukupuku, kāore anō kia whakatauhia te maha o ngā mate pukupuku.

Pūwhakamāori waiNā te ahunga whakamua o te pūtaiao me te hangarau, ka taea te whakamahi i ngā āhuatanga kounga wai rerekē hei whakapai ake i te kounga o te wai, kia tutuki ai ngā tohu o te wai inu i ngā whakaritenga hauora, kia taea ai te tiaki pai i te hauora o te tangata, mai i te wai hei whakakore i te mate!
