I te wā e tiaki ana i te waeine whakaputa hiko o te tāpine wai, ko tētahi o ngā mea tiaki o te tāpine wai ko te hiri tiaki. Ko te hiri mō te tiaki i te tāpine waipēhi e pā ana ki te hiri whāriki e hiahiatia ana i te wā e kati ana, e tiaki ana rānei i te hiri mahi tāpine waipēhi me te whāriki ārahi waipēhi, e ārai ana i te rere whakamuri ki roto i te poka tāpine ina teitei te taumata wai o te hiku. I tēnei rā, ka matapakihia e tātou ētahi whakarōpūtanga o te hiri tāpine mai i te hanganga o te hiri pou matua o te tāpine.
Ka taea te wehewehe i te hiri mahi o te tāpine waipēhi kia rua
（1） Hiri papatahi. Kei roto i te hiri pereti papatahi te hiri pereti papatahi papatahi kotahi me te hiri pereti papatahi papatahi rua. Ko te hiri pereti papatahi papatahi he pereti rapa papatahi kotahi hei hanga hiri me te mata pito o te mowhiti hurihuri maitai kore waikura e mau ana ki te pou matua. Ka hiritia e te pēhanga wai. He māmā tōna hanganga, engari kāore te pānga hiri i te pai ki te hiri pereti papatahi rua, ā, kāore tōna roa mahi i te roa ki te hiri pereti papatahi rua. He pai te pānga hiri o te pereti papatahi papatahi rua, engari he uaua tōna hanganga, ā, ka turuturu te wai i te wā e hikitia ana. I tēnei wā, e whakamahia ana hoki i roto i ngā waeine rere-tuaka iti me te rahi-waenga.
（2） Hiri porowhita. Ko te hiri porowhita he mea hanga mai i ētahi poraka waro āhua-pā, he mea pēhi pūmau ki te pou matua e ngā puna i roto i ngā poraka maitai āhua-pā, hei hanga i tētahi paparanga hiri. Ka whakatuwheratia he kōhao wai iti i roto i te mowhiti hiri hei tuku i te wai e turuturu ana. Ko te nuinga o te wā ka hiritia ki te wai ma, ā, he ngoikore tōna ātete ki te wai kei roto he paru. He uaua te hanganga o te hiri, he uaua te tāutanga me te tiaki, he uaua te whakarite i te mahi o te puna, ā, he iti te whakahaere-ā-roto porowhita i muri i te waku, nō reira kua tangohia te nuinga, ā, kua whakakapia ki te hiri mata pito.
（3） Hiri tākai. Ko te hiri tākai he mea tito mai i te mowhiti hiri o raro, te tākai, te mowhiti hiri wai, te paipa hiri wai me te repe. Ko te mahi hiri matua mā te tākai i waenganui o te mowhiti hiri o raro me te ringaringa pēhi repe. He whānuitia te whakamahinga o te hiri i roto i ngā waeine whakapae iti.
（4） Hiri mata. Hiri mata * * * momo miihini me te momo waipēhi. Ka whakawhirinaki te hiri mata pito miihini ki te puna hei kukume ake i te kōpae kua oti te whakakakahu ki te poraka rapa porohita, kia tata ai te poraka rapa porohita ki te mowhiti maitai kore waikura e mau ana ki te pou matua hei mahi hiri. Ka mau te mowhiti hiri rapa ki te taupoki o runga (ki te taupoki tautoko rānei) o te tāpine waipēhi. He māmā noa iho tēnei momo hanganga hiri, engari he koretake te kaha o te puna, ka ngāwari ki te piri rerekē, ki te pakaru, me te mahi hiri kore pumau.
（5） Hiri mowhiti rūpahu. He momo hiri hou te hiri mowhiti rūpahu i ngā tau tata nei. Ko tōna kaupapa mahi he whakatakoto i tētahi taputapu pereti papu ki runga i te oma tāpine. Nā te pānga momi o te pereti papu, kei roto tonu te flange o te pou matua i te āhuarangi. Kāore he pa i waenganui i te pou me te hiri pou, ā, he paparanga hau anake. He roa te ora o te hiri. He momo rūpahu kore-pa te hiri pou matua, he mea tito mai i tētahi ringaringa hurihuri e tata ana ki te pou, he pouaka hiri, he paipa waikeri hiri pou matua me ētahi atu wāhanga. I raro i te mahi noa o te tāpine, kāore he pēhanga wai i runga i te pouaka hiri i roto i te whānuitanga kawenga katoa. Ka hurihuri te pereti papu i runga i te oma me te oma hei ārai i te wai me ngā mea totoka kei uru ki te hiri pou matua. I taua wā anō, ka ārai te paipa waikeri o te pereti papu i te onepū, i ngā mea totoka rānei kei kohikohi i raro i te taupoki o runga o te tāpine wai, ā, ka tukuna he iti noa te turuturu wai mā te mowhiti aukati turuturu o runga ki te wai hiku mā te paipa waikeri o te pereti papu.
Koinei ngā wāhanga matua e whā o ngā hiri tāpine. I roto i ēnei wāhanga e whā, ka taea e te hiri mowhiti labyrinth, hei hangarau hiri hou, te ārai i te turuturu wai i runga i te pouaka hiri, kua whakamahia e te maha o ngā teihana hiko wai, ā, he pai te pānga o te mahi.
