NGĀ TONO WHAKAMAHI WAI
Kua whakaaro kē koe me pēhea tātou e whakahaere ai i te wai inu haumaru e rere ana i roto i ā tātou taputapu wai? Ka taea e koe te mihi ki te konupora konupora. Ka whakamahia e ngā kaiwhakarato wai ā-rohe, pērā i tō kamupene wai ā-rohe, te konumohe hei rongoā i te wai mō te kai a te tangata. Hei tāpiri, ka taea hoki te rongoā i te wai tukatuka (ehara i te wai inu) ki tēnei matū hei purenga ina puta he pānga kino ki te huakita/para.
Ina tāpirihia ki te wai, ka meinga e te konupūmā konupūmā te whakakotahi i ngā poke iti hei matūriki nui ake, nui ake. Kātahi ka tau ēnei puranga ki raro i te ipu, ā, ka taea te tātari. Mā tēnei ka haumaru ake te inu i te wai. I runga anō i te kaupapa kotahi, ka whakamahia hoki te konumohe i roto i ngā puna kaukau hei whakaiti i te kapua o te wai (6).
TE TAE I NGĀ KAKAHU
Tirohia tō hāte. Ehara pea i te hāte ma noa. Ko tētahi atu o ngā whakamahinga maha o te konupūmā whanariki ko te tae me te tā i runga i te kakahu. Ina rewa ki te nui o te wai he pH kūpapa, he pH paku kawakore rānei, ka puta he matū piri, ko te konupūmā hauwai. Ka āwhina tēnei matū i ngā tae kia piri ki ngā muka kakahu mā te kore e wairewa te tae i roto i te wai. Ko te mahi a te konupūmā whanariki he "whakapūmau" tae, ko te tikanga ka honoa ki te hanganga ngota o te tae me te papanga kia kore ai e pau te tae ina mākū te papanga (6).
TE HANGA PEPA
I ngā wā o mua, i whakamahia te konupūmā konupūmā hei hanga pepa, ahakoa ko ngā mea hangai te nuinga kua whakakapia. Ka āwhina te konupūmā konupūmā ki te whakanui i te rahi o te pepa. I roto i tēnei tukanga, ka honoa ki te hopi rosin hei whakarerekē i te mimiti o te pepa, ka whakarerekē i ngā āhuatanga mimiti waituhi o te pepa. Ka puta he āhua waikawa i te konupūmā konupūmā, engari ko ngā mea hangai te rahi ka puta he pepa kore-waikawa e kore e pakaru wawe (6).
NGĀ TONO HAUMARU
Ehara i te mea ngahau te haere ki te tākuta, engari nā te konupūmā konupūmā, kua taea e te ao hauora te ahu whakamua i roto i ngā huarahi maha hei pupuri i tō tātou hauora. He maha ngā whakamahinga whai hua o te konupūmā konupūmā i roto i te ao hauora. Ko te nuinga o te whakamahinga he mea whakapūmau i roto i te rongoā i ngā motu me ngā karawarawa iti, me te whakamāori i te wai (nā ōna āhuatanga patu huakita). Ka mimiti hoki tēnei matū i ngā pūmua antigens ki roto i te wai; ka whakapai ake te matū hua i te ārai mate o te kano mā te whakahaere i te tukunga puhoi o te antigen mai i te putunga kano i hangaia i te wāhi i werohia ai (1). Kua whakamahia ngā wairewa kei roto ko te 5 ki te 10% hei tono ā-rohe ki ngā mate pukupuku me te aukati i ngā rerenga paru mai i ngā mata huware (2). Kei roto i ngā rauemi e whakamahia ana i roto i te umanga rongoā te konupūmā konupūmā. Hei tauira, ka whakamahia i roto i te whakarite i ngā pata taringa konupūmā acetate (2).
NGĀ TONO AHUMAHI KAI
He maha ngā mahi e whakamahia ai te konumohe i roto i ngā kai e kainga ana e tātou, ā, e mōhiotia whānuitia ana he haumaru ina whakamahia i runga i ngā tikanga hanga pai (2). Ka wairewa i roto i te wai, ā, ko te nuinga o te wā ka whakamahia hei whakamātotoru me te whakakōkī (3).
Ka taea hoki te whakamahi i te konumohe ki:
- Whakaora anō i ngā kohuke me te whakamārama i te wai mō ngā inu ngohengohe me te pia
- Whakahaerehia ngā taumata pH i roto i ngā pīti, tōmato, me ētahi atu huawhenua
- Te purenga o ngā wai pīti huka
- Whakahaerehia te pH me te tae waina me te waipiro
- Hei rewena i roto i te ranunga keke (houra tunutunu)
- Whakatōtōhia te tīhi kia matotoru (4).
