He aha ngā hua o te kore e ringihia te wai o te pūwero hau?

I pātai tētahi kaihoko: "Kāore anō taku pūwero hau kia ringihia mō ngā marama e rua, he aha ka tupu?" Ki te kore te wai e ringihia, ka piki ake te nui o te wai i roto i te hau kua kōpeketia, ka pā ki te kounga o te hau me ngā taputapu whakamahi hau o muri; ka heke te pānga o te wehenga hinu-hau, ka piki ake te rerekētanga pēhanga o te wehewehe hinu-hau, ā, ka waikura anō hoki ngā wāhanga o te mīhini.

Me pēhea te whakaputanga o te wai?

He tino teitei te pāmahana o roto o te pane o te pūwero hau i te wā e mahi ana. Ka hanga te makuku o te hau māori e manawahia ana hei kohu wai i te wā e whakahaerehia ana te pūwero hau. Ehara i te mea ka taea e te tāke hau te whakarato i te wāhi tiaki me te wāhi rokiroki mō te hau kōpeke anake, engari ka taea hoki te whakaiti i te pēhanga me te pāmahana. Ina haere te hau kōpeke i roto i te tāke hau, ka pā te hau tere ki te pakitara o te tāke hau ka puta he huihuinga, ka tere te heke o te pāmahana i roto i te tāke hau, ka waimeha te nui o te kohu wai, ka hanga he wai mātotoru. Mēnā he rangi makuku, he hotoke rānei, ka nui ake te wai mātotoru ka puta.

Āhea te nuinga o te wā ka mahia te rerenga wai?

E ai ki te taiao whakamahinga me ngā āhuatanga mahi, me tuku te wai whakapūmau i ia wā, i ia wā rānei, me tāuta rānei he wai tuku aunoa. Ko te nuinga o te wā, ka whakawhirinaki ki te haumākū o te hau e manawahia ana me te pāmahana putanga o te pūwero hau.
