Mō ngā miriona whānau o te ao whānui, inā koa i ngā wāhi tawhiti, pukepuke, me ngā wāhi tawhiti atu i te whatunga hiko, he moemoeā tawhiti tonu te whiwhi hiko pumau me te pono. Ko te motuhanga o te hiko, ko ngā whatunga hiko kāore i te pumau, te korenga rānei o ngā raina hiko ka aukati i te mātauranga, ka whakararu i ngā mahi ōhanga, ā, ka pā ki te kounga whānui o te oranga. Ahakoa he otinga rongonui ngā panera rā me ngā tāhū hau, kei reira tētahi atu kōwhiringa kaha engari e warewarehia ana: te hiko wai-iti.
He pūnaha whakaputa hiko iti te hiko moroiti-wai e whakamahi ana i te rere maori o te wai hei whakaputa pūngao. He tikanga huatau, pumau, ā, he tino whai hua hoki mō te whakaoti rapanga hiko o ngā whare ina tika ngā āhuatanga whenua.
He pēhea te mahi a tētahi pūnaha wai iti?
He māmā noa te kaupapa, ā, kua whakamahia mō ngā rautau, kua whakahoutia inaianei mā te hangarau whai hua. Ko te pūnaha wai-iti te nuinga o te wā:
Te Tahuritanga (Pae Wai): He hanganga iti i hangaia i roto i tētahi awaawa, i tētahi awa rānei hei tahuri i tētahi wāhanga o te wai.
Penstock: He paipa e whakawhiti ana i te wai e hurihia ana mai i te teitei ki te iti. Ko te hekenga poutū (e kiia nei ko te "upoko") me te rahinga o te wai ("rere") ngā mea nui e rua e whakatau ana i te pūmanawa mana o te pūnaha.
Tāpine: Ka hurihia e te wai e rere ana mai i te pene hiko te tāpine, ka hurihia te pūngao nekeneke o te wai hei pūngao miihini.
Hīkoi: Mā te hononga ki te tāpine, ka hurihia e te hīkoi tēnei pūngao miihini hei pūngao hiko.
Kaiwhakahaere/Whakahaere: Ka whakahaerehia e tēnei taputapu te hiko e whakaputaina ana, kia mau ai te ngaohiko me te auau mō te whakamahinga o te whare.
Pēke Pūhiko (Whiringa): Mō ngā pūnaha kāore i te hono ki te whatunga hiko, ka taea te penapena i te hiko taikaha ki roto i ngā pākahiko hei whakamahi ina nui ake te hiahia i te whakaputanga.
Pūwhakawhiti: Ka huri i te hiko iahiko tika (DC) mai i te whakaputa hiko, i ngā pākahiko rānei ki te iahiko tauutuutu (AC) e whakamahia ana e ngā taputapu kāinga paerewa.
He aha i whiriwhiri ai i te hiko moroiti-wai mō te whare?
Mō ngā wāhi e tika ana, he rerekē ngā painga o te hiko-iti-wai ki ērā atu puna whakahou:
Mana Pūmau, Pono hoki: Kāore i rite ki te rā me te hau, e noho pōturi ana (e whakawhirinaki ana ki te whitinga o te rā, ki te pupuhi rānei o te hau), ka whakaratohia e te awaawa, e te awa rānei he puna pūngao tonu mō ngā hāora 24 i te rā, 7 ngā rā o te wiki. Mā tēnei ka taurangi he pūngao pumau, he pūmau hoki.
Teitei o te Whai Hua me te Putanga Hiko: Ka taea e tētahi pūnaha wai-iti iti te whakaputa i te nui o te hiko i roto i tētahi pūnaha kiato, he maha ngā wā ka nui ake te pumau i te pūnaha hiko pūngao rā, hau rānei, he rite te utu.
He Roa te Ora, he iti hoki te Tiaki: He tino pakari ngā pūnaha kua hoahoa paitia, ā, ka taea te mahi mō ngā tekau tau me te iti noa o te tiaki, ko te nuinga ko te pupuri i te tātari whakauru kia ma i ngā paru.
Utu-whai hua: Kia tāutahia, ka kore utu te "wahie" (te wai e rere ana). He tino iti ngā utu whakahaere mō te wā roa, ā, he haumitanga pai mō te taha ōhanga i roto i te wā.
He pai mō te taiao: Kāore e puta he hau kati kōtuhi, he parahanga rānei i te wā e whakamahia ana, ā, he iti noa iho te pānga ki te taiao mēnā i hangaia kia tika.
Ngā Hipanga hei Whakatinana i tētahi Pūnaha Wai-iti
Aromatawai Pae: Koinei te taahiraa tino nui. Me ine e koe te upoko (te maturuturunga poutū) me te rere (te rahinga wai ia hekona). Mā ēnei inenga e rua ka whakatau i te kaha ka puta mai i tō pae.
Aromatawai Pūngao: Tātaihia te whakapaunga hiko o ia rā a tō whare kia tika ai te rahi o tō pūnaha.
Te Hoahoa Pūnaha me te Kōwhiringa Wāhanga: Kōwhiria te momo tāpine e tika ana (hei tauira, te wira Pelton mō te pane teitei, te tāpine Kaplan mō te pane iti me te rere nui), te whakaputa hiko, ngā paipa, me ngā hiko whakahaere i runga i ngā raraunga me ngā hiahia hiko o tō papaanga.
Ngā Whakaaetanga me ngā Whakaaetanga: Tirohia ngā ture ā-rohe, ka tiki i ngā whakaaetanga e tika ana mō te hurihanga wai me te hanga.
Tāutanga: Kei roto i tēnei ko ngā mahi ā-iwi (te hanga i te arai, te whakatakoto i te pene rakau) me te whakatū i ngā wāhanga miihini me te hiko. E tino taunakihia ana te āwhina ngaio mō tēnei wāhanga.
Hononga me te Tiaki: Honoa te pūnaha ki te papa hiko o tō whare, ka whakatū i tētahi kaupapa tiaki auau.
Whakamutunga
Mō ngā whānau e raru ana i te rawakore o te hiko i ngā rohe e wātea ana te wai rere, he otinga kaha te hiko moroiti-wai. Ka hurihia he kaha taiao, he kaha tonu, hei puna hiko ma, pono, ā, pumau. Mā te haumi ki tēnei hangarau, ka taea e ngā whare te whakatutuki i te mana motuhake o te hiko, te whakakaha i ō rātou kāinga, te whakahaere pakihi iti, me te whakapai ake i te paerewa o te oranga, me te tiaki i te taiao mō ngā whakatipuranga o muri mai. He tohu tēnei i ētahi wā, ko ngā otinga tino whai hua ka kitea i roto i te rere tonu o te taiao.
