Kāinga

1. Tuatahi, tāpirihia he wai ōrite, he wai nui ake rānei (ko te ōwehenga whānui o te kāpia me te wai he 1 ki te 1.2-3.0, he pai ake te whakamahi i te wai mahana) kia rumakina te kāpia mō ngā haora torutoru, kia ngohengohe te poraka kāpia, kātahi ka whakamahana kia 75 nekehanga pea, kia wai ai te kāpia.
2. Me whakatau te ōwehenga o te kāpia me te wai i runga i te matotoru e hiahiatia ana. Mēnā he nui ake te wai, he iti ake te matotoru, ā, mēnā he iti ake te wai, he nui ake te matotoru. Kaua e tino teitei te pāmahana ina werahia te tiakarete, nā te mea ka heke te matotoru o te pāmahana neke atu i te 100 nekehanga nā te pirau o te ngota ngota, ā, ka tawhito, ka pirau hoki te tiakarete.
3. He iti noa ngā matūriki e toe ana i te whakamahinga o te kāpia, nō reira me whakaranu ki te wai i te wā e whakamahia ana hei whakatika i te matotoru me te rere. Me whakamahi te wera kaukau hei whakamahana i te kāpia. Kāore rawa e whakaaetia kia whakamahana tika te kāpia ki roto i te ipu.
4. Me pupuri te tiakarete i raro i tētahi pāmahana i mua i te whakamahinga. Nō reira, ina hiahiatia he wai, me rite tonu te pāmahana o te wai me te kōroiti, ā, kaua e tāpirihia he wai matao. Ina whakamahia te tiakarete, me tere, me ōrite te tere. Whakatikatikahia te nui o te wai me te tiakarete kia whiwhi ai i te matotoru e hiahiatia ana.
