Kua pānuitia e te Ohio State Institute for Sustainability tētahi mahi tahi hou me Advanced Drainage Systems (ADS) hei tautoko i ngā rangahau whakahaere wai, hei whakarei ake i te ako a ngā ākonga, hei whakapai ake hoki i te oranga tonutanga o ngā puni.
Ko te kamupene, he kaiwhakarato hua waikeri ki ngā mākete noho, arumoni, ahuwhenua me ngā hanganga, kei te koha i ngā pūnaha whakahaere wai ua hou e rua ki te Rohe Auaha i te Papa Hauāuru me te koha moni hei tāuta i aua pūnaha, me ngā moni hei tautoko i ngā whai wāhitanga rangahau me te whakaako. Ko te toenga o te koha ka whakatairanga i te kanorau me te whakaurunga mā te tautoko i te hapori ako o te Whare Hangarau, ā, ka āwhina i te Whare Wānanga ki te whakapai ake i te hangarua i te papa. Ko te uara katoa o ngā koha hua me ngā koha moni neke atu i te $1 miriona.
"Ka tino whakapai ake tēnei mahi tahi hou me ADS i te huarahi e whakahaere ai a Ohio State i te rerenga wai ua mai i ngā whanaketanga hou i te Rohe Auaha," te kī a Kate Bartter, te kaiwhakahaere matua o te Institute for Sustainability.
He take nui te whakahaere i te wai ua mō ngā hanganga hou me ngā whanaketanga anō. He nui ngā poke e haria ana e te rerenga wai ua ki ngā roto, ki ngā awa, me ngā moana; he maha ngā wā ka piki ake te pāmahana o ngā wai mata e tae mai ana, ka pā kino ki ngā mea ora o te wai; ā, ka kore e whakahokia mai te wai whenua mā te mimiti i te wai ua ki roto i te oneone.
Ka pupuri te pūnaha whakahaere i te wai e rere ana mai i ngā whare, i ngā ara hikoi me ētahi atu mata i roto i tētahi raupapa o ngā rūma raro whenua e hopu ana i ngā poke, kātahi ka tukuna mārire te wai ki roto i te waikeri tupuhi o te tāone.
"Ka whakarei ake te pūnaha ADS i ngā ratonga rauropi i te kāmpus, koinei tētahi o ngā whāinga oranga tonutanga a te Kāwanatanga o Ohio," te kī a Bartter.
Mā te mahi tahi ka aro nui ki te whakahaere wai ua i tēnei wā e whakanuia ana te raruraru e te huringa āhuarangi mā te whakanui ake i te maha me te kaha o ngā tupuhi awha. Me whakawhanake he ture hou mō ngā tāone me ngā ture ā-rohe hei whakahaere i te wai ua e puta mai ana i ngā awha kia kore ai e waipuke i roto i ngā waikeri tahi me ētahi atu pūnaha wai ua e horapa ana i ngā huakita me te whakangaro i ngā awa. Ka taea hoki e te whakahaere wai ua tika te whakapai ake i te kounga o te wai, inā koa mā te hopu paru.
I kī te Perehitini me te Tumu Whakarae o ADS, a Scott Barbour, he tino akiaki ngā wero e pā ana ki te whakahaere wai ua mō ADS.
"Ko tā mātou kaupapa matua ko te wai, ahakoa kei roto i ngā tāone nui, kei roto rānei i ngā taiwhenua," tana kī. "E harikoa ana mātou ki te āwhina i te Kāwanatanga o Ohio ki te whakahaere i te rerenga wai ua mō tōna rohe auaha hou mā tēnei koha."
Kei te whakamahere hoki te kamupene ki te tautoko i ngā whai wāhitanga rangahau me te whakaako e whakamahi ana i te pūnaha wai ua nui ake o ngā pūnaha e rua hei taiwhanga ora mō te whakahaere wai o te tāone. Ka whai hua tēnei ki ngā kaiako o te Kāwanatanga o Ohio, pērā i te Ahorangi Tuarua i roto i ngā Tari Kai, Ahuwhenua me te Hangarau Koiora (FABE) me te Hangarau Ā-Iwi, Taiao me te Hangarau Whenua, me Ryan Winston, he mema kaiako matua o te Institute for Sustainability.
"Ko te nuinga o te iwi i ngā tāone nui kāore e whakaaro ana ki te pūtake mai, ki te wāhi e haere atu ai rānei ō rātou wai nā te mea he nui ngā hanganga kei raro i te whenua e huna ana," te kī a Winston. "Mā te tāuta i te pūnaha ADS ka taea e tātou te waihanga i ngā whai wāhitanga ā-ringa mō ngā ākonga ki te ako mō te whakahaere wai pumau i waho o te akomanga."
He kaitohutohu kaiako a Winston mō tētahi rōpū tauira FABE, ā, mā rātou e hoahoa he pūnaha hauhake wai ua hei tango i te wai kua rongoatia ki roto i te pūnaha ADS, hei whakamahi mō te whakamakuku whenua. Mā te pūrongo whakamutunga a te tauira ka whai wāhi te whare wānanga ki te hangarua i te wai ua me te whakaiti i te whakamahinga wai inu. Ehara i te mea ko ADS anake te kaitautoko o te rōpū, engari ko tana Tumuaki Tuarua Whakahaere Whakawhanake Hua ka noho hei kaitohutohu mō te rōpū.
"Ko te whakamahinga o ā mātou hua mō te rangahau me te whakaako i te kāmpus i Ohio State tētahi o ngā wāhanga tino whakahihiri o te mahi tahi," te kī a Brian King, te tumuaki tuarua o te hokohoko, te whakahaere hua me te oranga tonutanga i ADS. "E tino harikoa ana mātou ki te tautoko i ngā ākonga hangarau mai i ngā rōpū kāore i te tino kitea mā roto i tā mātou koha ki te Hapori Ako Hangarau o te Wāhanga."
"Tata ki te rua hautoru o ngā rauemi e whakamahia ana i roto i ngā hua ADS he mea hangarua," te tāpiri a King. Kei te Whare Wānanga o Ohio State te tuku hangarua kotahi-awa i runga i te kāmpus, ā, kua whānui ake tana whakaae ki te kirihou Momo 5 (polypropylene) mō ngā ipu miraka kawa me ētahi atu takai. Hei wāhanga o tana koha, ko ADS te kaitautoko nui rawa atu o te kaupapa Tika ki te Hangarua a te whare wānanga.
"Ka pai ake te hangarua i te kāmpus, ka nui ake ngā rauemi e whakamahia ana mō ngā hua ADS," te kī a King.
Nā te kaha o te whakapau kaha a te whakahaere me ngā tīma whakamahere o Ohio ki te whakapai ake i te oranga tonutanga o te kāmpus i taea ai te mahi tahi. Nā ngā Tohunga Wai me te Para o ngā Whakahaere me te Whakawhanaketanga o ngā Whare, me te tautoko hangarau mai i tana tīma Hoahoa me te Hanga me ngā Kaihoahoa Whenua o te Whare Wānanga, i ārahi te whai wāhitanga.
Ki tā Bartter, e whakaatu ana te hononga hou ki a ADS i te pūmanawa nui mō te whakakotahi i te rangahau, te ako a ngā ākonga me ngā mahi o te kāmpus.
"Ko te whakakotahi i ngā rawa matua o Ohio State pēnei i tēnei ka rite ki tētahi tokotoru mātauranga," tana kī. "E whakaatu pono ana tēnei i te kaha o te Whare Wānanga ki te whai wāhi atu ki te mātauranga me te whakamahi i ā mātou otinga oranga tonutanga. Ehara i te mea ka whakapakari ake i te oranga tonutanga o ā mātou puni mā tēnei mahi tahi, engari ka puta hoki ngā hua rangahau me te whakaako mō ngā tau e haere ake nei."
