本文报告了一项为期两年的跨学科研究项目的研究结果，该项目探讨了气候变化对新西兰奥特罗阿的Hiku o the Ika三个社区饮用水供应安全和保障的影响。在这个地区，饮用水主要来自“屋顶和水箱”系统。该项目设计为综合Kaupapa Mäori * Te Rarawa， Ngäi Tupoto, Ngäti Here, Tahäwai。新西兰奥克兰梅西大学Whariki研究小组研究员。邮箱：tirairaka@outlook.com†the Rarawa, Ngäti Hine, Ngäpuhi。Kaitohutohu Matua Taiao/高级环境顾问，WSP OPUS，奥克兰，新西兰卡波泰，Ngäpuhi-nui-tonu。新西兰奥克兰梅西大学Whariki研究小组主任。§新西兰克赖斯特彻奇市环境科学与研究有限公司高级研究员。水文学家，NIWA，基督城，新西兰。¶新西兰奥克兰梅西大学Whariki研究组研究员。W. HENWOOD ET AL. 98 MAI JOURNAL vol . 8, ISSUE 2, 2019利用气候科学、微生物学和社会科学开发面向社区的方法来处理气候变化关系中的复杂问题的研究。根据气候变化预测、当地mätauranga Mäori和饮用水研究，制定了针对具体地点的循证咨询意见和实际建议。对kaumätua的采访揭示了长期以来对Hiku气候及其变化的了解和经验。基于计算机的情景建模——使用自动和社区收集的降水和温度数据——产生了80年的水安全气候变化预测。以健康为重点的大肠杆菌研究揭示了当前的水质，并利用气候数据预测了未来的水质。总的来说，这项研究强化了文献中的观点，即跨学科研究的发现比单学科研究提供了更多的解释力。
This article reports the findings of a twoyear transdisciplinary research project that explored the implications of climate change for the security and safety of drinking water supplies in three communities in Te Hiku o te Ika in Aotearoa New Zealand. In this region, potable water comes mainly from “roof and tank” systems. The project was designed as integrative Kaupapa Mäori * Te Rarawa, Ngäi Tupoto, Ngäti Here, Tahäwai.

W. HENWOOD ET AL. 98 MAI JOURNAL VOLUME 8, ISSUE 2, 2019 research utilising climate science, microbiology and social science to develop communityoriented approaches for dealing with the complex issues at the nexus of climate change. Evidencebased advice and practical suggestions tailored to specific locations were developed by drawing on climate change projections, local mätauranga Mäori and drinking water studies. Interviews with kaumätua surfaced longstanding knowledge and experience of the climate and its variations in Te Hiku. Computerbased scenario modelling—using both automated and communitycollected data on precipitation and temperature—produced 80year climate change projections of water security. Healthfocused Escherichia coli studies revealed the current water quality and used climate data to predict future water quality. Overall, this research reinforces arguments in the literature that the findings of transdisciplinary studies can provide more explanatory power than singlediscipline research.
