He maha ngā tohutohu mō te kohua wai puta noa i te motu mō ngā rahui wai. Tērā pea ka āwhina te huarahi auaha a tētahi rōpū rangahau ki te whakaoti i tēnei raruraru?
He māmā noa te hanga i ngā pūoko hauota, ā, mā te tāpiri i tētahi tukatuka iti, ka taea e te tangata te whakamātautau i ō rātou ake wai mō ngā huānga matū—he tohu pai tēnei e whakaatu ana mēnā kua tukatukahia te wai, ā, he haumaru hoki te inu.
Kua roa te take o te inu wai i ngā whenua rāhui o ngā Iwi Taketake. I whakatapua e te kāwanatanga ā-motu te $1.8 piriona i roto i te tahua o te tau 2016 hei whakamutu i ngā whakatūpato mō te wai kohua – e 70 ngā whakatūpato kei te motu i tēnei wā.
Engari he rerekē ngā take wai inu i runga i te whenua rāhui. Hei tauira, kei te āwangawanga a Rubicon Lake mō te pānga o te whanaketanga o ngā onepu hinu tata. Ko te raruraru mō te Rōpū Ono ehara i te maimoatanga wai, engari ko te tuku wai. I hangaia e te whenua rāhui he tipu maimoatanga wai $41 miriona i te tau 2014 engari kāore he pūtea hei whakatakoto paipa mai i te tipu ki ngā kainoho o te rohe. Engari, ka taea e te tangata te utu wai mai i te whare mō te kore utu.
I te tīmatanga o te mahi tahi a Martin-Hill me tana tīma me te hapori, ka tūtaki rātou ki te pikinga ake o te mea e kīia nei e ia ko te "manukanuka wai." He maha ngā tāngata i ngā whenua rāhui e rua kāore anō kia whiwhi wai inu ma; e mataku ana ngā rangatahi kei kore rawa rātou e whiwhi i tēnā.
"Kei te kitea te āhua o te kore tumanako kāore i kitea i ngā tau 15 ki muri," te kī a Martin-Hill. "Kāore te iwi e mārama ki ngā tāngata Taketake – ko tō whenua ko koe. He kīwaha tēnei: 'Ko tātou te wai; ko te wai ko tātou. Ko tātou te whenua; ko te whenua ko tātou.'"
