ʻOiai ʻoe e ʻaluʻalu ana i ka heʻenalu, e leʻaleʻa ana nā maʻi pathogens i nā wai me ʻoe. ʻAe, ke hana nei nā ʻoihana olakino lehulehu i kā lākou mea e hiki ai ke hoʻāʻo i ka palekana o kāu wai ʻauʻau, akā ʻaʻole ia he hōʻoia e pani ʻia kou kahakai i ka manawa e hōʻike ai nā bacteria i hōʻino i ka leʻaleʻa.

"Lōʻihi ka manawa e hoʻāʻo i nā laʻana o ka wai, a ʻaʻole mākou e hoʻāʻo i kēlā me kēia lā," i wehewehe ai ʻo Jon Devine, kahi loio kiʻekiʻe me ka Natural Resource Defense Council (NRDC), nāna e kiaʻi i kou wai inā ʻoe e noho ana ma kekahi o nā nā kahakai, ke Kai Kūʻono, a i ʻole kekahi o nā Lā Nui. Wahi a Devine, aia kekahi mau hoʻopaʻapaʻa i waena o nā ʻepekema e pili ana i nā pae "palekana" o nā bacteria.

No ke aha ʻoe e hopohopo ai i kekahi o kēia? ʻO ka pū (ʻike pinepine ʻole ʻia) e lana ana i loko o kou wai e hiki ke kumu i nā mea āpau mai ka maka polū a me ka ʻōpū o ka ʻōpū i ka maʻi hepatitis a me ka meningitis, i ʻōlelo ʻo Devine. ʻAʻole palekana ke one: kahi noiʻi hou i ka Ka Nupepa ʻAmelika o Epidemiology loaʻa nā poʻe kahakai i ʻeli i ke one e maʻi pinepine paha. 'Saylelo nā mea kākau ke komo ke one i nā wai haumia like ʻole. Akā ʻaʻole like me ka wai, ʻaʻole pani ʻia ke one e ka ua hou a i hoʻokahe ʻia paha e nā kahawai. (No laila e lele i nā one?)

No ka pale ʻana iā ʻoe iho mai ka hoʻohaumia, paipai ʻo Devine e kipa aku i ka pūnaewele o NRDC, kahi e hiki ai iā ʻoe ke nānā i nā hōʻike wai no kāu kahakai punahele. "E hāʻawi ana kēlā iā ʻoe i ke kiʻi o ke ʻano o kou maikaʻi o ka wai i ka wā i hala," i ʻōlelo ʻo ia. Maikaʻi ke hiki inā pelapela ka wai, pēlā nō ke one, hōʻike ke aʻo ma luna.

Akā ʻaʻole pono ʻoe i ke kemika e haʻi iā ʻoe inā he manaʻo maikaʻi ʻole ke kuʻi ʻana i nā nalu. Eia nā hōʻailona ʻelima he lono maikaʻi ʻole ko kahakai.

1. Ua ua wale. ʻO ka holo ʻana o ka wai ʻino kekahi o nā kumu kiʻekiʻe loa o ka hoʻohaumia wai, wahi a Devine. Inā kū ka hekili nui i kou wahi, ke kū nei i waho o ka wai ma kahi o 24 mau hola he manaʻo naʻauao, aʻoaʻo ʻo ia, me ka ʻōlelo ʻana, "He kanahikukūmālua mau hola ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi."

2. ʻIke ʻoe i ka hina. E nānā a puni kou kahakai. Inā ʻoe e ʻike i nā wahi kaʻa he nui, nā alanui i hoʻomākaukau ʻia, a me nā hale paʻa ʻē aʻe, pilikia kēlā, wehewehe ʻo Devine. Ma muli o ka hana ʻana o ka lepo i ka huahua a me ka kānana wai maoli, kōkua ia e mālama i ka wai haumia mai ka holo ʻana i kāu wahi ʻauʻau punahele. ʻO nā hana Concrete a me nā mea i hana ʻia e ke kanaka e hana i ka ʻaoʻao ʻē aʻe, i ʻōlelo ʻo Devine.

3. Hiki iā ʻoe ke nalu i ka poʻe hana ʻoiaʻiʻo. Wahi a Devine e hoʻokuʻu ana nā moku i nā ʻano mea waiwai āpau, mai ka sewage maka a i ka ʻaukā. Eia kekahi, aia nā marina i kahi mālie, nā puka komo i pale ʻia, kahi e noho ai ka wai like no nā lā, e ʻohiʻohi i nā mea haumia. ʻO ka ʻauʻau ʻana i ka wai hāmama, kahi e ʻoi aku ai ke anuanu a me choppier, kahi manaʻo maikaʻi aʻe, hoʻohui ʻo Devine.

4. Aia nā paipu. Nui nā kūlanakauhale a me nā kauhale i loaʻa i nā ʻōnaehana hōʻiliʻili wai e hoʻokuʻu i nā mea āpau akā holo pololei i ka wai kūloko, e wehewehe ʻo Devine. E nānā wale i nā paipu, e holo pololei a hiki i (a i ʻole) i ke kahakai ma mua o ka nalo ʻana i lalo.

5. Ke kuʻi nei ʻoe i nā mea ʻauʻau ʻē aʻe.Palapala ka poʻe. A ʻo ka nui o lākou āu e ʻike ai a puni ʻoe i ka wai, ʻoi aku ka nui o ka manawa āu e hālāwai ai me nā bacteria e pili ana i ka maʻi ma ke ʻano he hopena o ka "bather shedding," i wehewehe ai ʻo Liz Purchia, he waha ʻōlelo o ka EPA.
