Ko te wāhi e tū ai tō puna kaukau tētahi o ngā whakataunga nui hei whakatau māu i te wā e whakamahere ana koe ki te tāuta. Ahakoa he puna kaukau ā-roto, ā-waho rānei tāu e whiriwhiri ai, he painga, he wero, he whakaaro anō hoki kei ia kōwhiringa. Mā te mārama ki ēnei āhuatanga ka āwhina i a koe ki te waihanga i tētahi puna kaukau e whai hua ana, e ātaahua ana hoki.
Ko ngā Kaukau o Waho te momo tino noa, e tuku ana i ngā painga o te hihi o te rā, te hau hou, me te hononga ki te whenua e karapoti ana. Ko tētahi o ngā painga matua o te puna kaukau o waho ko te kaha ki te pārekareka ki te tirohanga ataahua i a koe e kaukau ana, ahakoa he māra, he moana, he tirohanga maunga rānei. Heoi, he mea nui hei whakaaroaro i te wā e whiriwhiri ana i te wāhi. Tuatahi, whakaarohia te tūmataitinga; ki te kitea rawatia tō puna kaukau e ngā hoa noho tata, e ngā kaihaerere rānei, ka iti ake te āhua o te noho marino. Mā te tāuta i ngā ārai tūmataitinga, ngā taiepa, ngā otaota matomato rānei huri noa i te wāhi puna kaukau ka āwhina i te whakaiti i tēnei raruraru. Hei tāpiri, he mea nui te pānga o te rā. Me whakanoho te puna kaukau ki tētahi wāhi e whiwhi ana i te nui o te hihi o te rā i te roanga o te rā, nā te mea ehara i te mea ka pai ake te kaukau engari ka āwhina hoki ki te pupuri i te pāmahana o te wai. I tētahi atu taha, ko te wāhi e tino marumaru ana ka arahi ki te wai matao me te whakatairanga i te tipu o te rimurimu. Ko te ahunga o te hau tētahi atu āhuatanga—ka taea e ngā hau kaha te whakararuraru i te wāhi puna kaukau, te pupuhi i ngā paru ki roto i te wai, te meinga rānei kia nui rawa te mimiti.
I tētahi atu taha, ka tukuna e ngā Kaukau o roto he taiao whakahaere, kāore he āhuatanga o te rangi. Ko te painga matua o te puna kaukau o roto ko te taea te whakamahi i te tau katoa, ahakoa te āhua o te rangi i waho. Ka tukuna hoki he tūmataitinga me te tiakitanga mai i ngā āhuatanga taiao pēnei i te ua, te hau, te pāmahana tino kino rānei. Heoi, he wero motuhake ngā puna kaukau o roto. He mea nui te hauhautanga hei ārai i te hauwai me te pupuri i te taiao hauora. Ki te kore he hauhautanga tika, ka taea e te makuku te kino ki te hanganga o te whare me te whakanui ake i te tūponotanga o te pokepokea ai, te harore rānei. Ko tētahi atu whakaaro ko te wāhi; me nui te wāhi o ngā puna kaukau o roto, ehara i te mea mō te puna kaukau anake, engari mō te tohanga o te hau me ngā taputapu tiaki hoki. Hei tāpiri, he mea nui te rama ki te āhuarangi o te puna kaukau o roto. He iti te mārama taiao, nō reira me tika te rama horihori hei whakarite kia mārama te wāhi puna kaukau, kia ātaahua hoki te tirohanga.
Ko tētahi atu whakaaro nui mō ngā puna kaukau o roto, o waho hoki ko te urunga atu. Me ngāwari te uru atu ki te puna kaukau mai i tō kāinga, me ngā ara mārama, ngā tomokanga haumaru, me te whai whakaaro ki te ngāwari o te tiaki i te puna kaukau. Mō ngā puna kaukau o waho, me whakaaro anō hoki koe ki tōna urutau ki tō hoahoa whenua, me te whakauru pai ki ngā taupee, ki ngā māra, ki ngā kīhini o waho rānei.
Hei whakamutunga, ko te whiriwhiri i waenga i te puna kaukau o roto, o waho rānei me āta whakaaro ki te tūmataitinga, te wāhi, te āhuarangi, me te urunga atu. He wheako taiao ngā puna kaukau o waho engari he wero e pā ana ki te huarere, ko ngā puna kaukau o roto ia e whakamahi ana i te tau katoa engari me āta whakamahere mō te hauhautanga me te wāhi. Mā te wāhi tika ka noho tonu tō puna kaukau hei wāhi whakangā me te wāhi ngahau mō ngā tau e haere ake nei.
