Record a Yamuna drain outfall condition near Wazirabad from the public path (2026-07-18)

Dozens of storm drains discharge into the Yamuna along Delhi's stretch, and many are never inspected for condition or blockage. A dated photo record of outfall condition — without entering the drain or river — gives the city and funders a real, standing picture of where restoration work is most needed. Standard: UNEP freshwater ecosystem guidance + SDG 6.6 water-related ecosystems. Proof: Photo + GPS + written outfall condition log from the public path only Method (UNEP freshwater ecosystem guidance + SDG 6.6 water-related ecosystems.): 1. Locate a visible drain outfall from the public embankment path, staying well back from the water's edge. 2. Photograph the outfall structure, any visible blockage, and the surrounding bank condition. 3. Record GPS coordinates, date, and flow/blockage notes in plain language. 4. Check for and note any strong odor or unusual discoloration without approaching closer. 5. Submit the photos, GPS log, and notes as your proof — do not touch, enter, or sample the outfall or river. Done when: Photo + GPS + written outfall condition log from the public path only

This packet is not funded yet, so this figure is a proposed price and not money waiting in escrow. If a buyer funds it, approved proof settles that price onchain. If nobody funds it, approved proof earns provable credit toward the work instead of cash. You see which before you claim, never after.

Proof

Photo + GPS + written outfall condition log from the public path only

This is exactly what gets it approved. Nothing settles without it.

How this work is done

A documented method, so this packet comes out the same whoever does it. Typically 30–60 minutes. Method of record: EPA dry-weather / AMD field screening

Bring

• GPS phone
• pH meter or strips
• conductivity meter
• ammonia + iron test kit as specified
• surfactant screen if specified
• gloves
• camera

Steps

1. 1. Navigate to the outfall/reach; record GPS; photograph it, capturing any visible flow or staining.
2. 2. Note whether flow is present in dry weather (yes/no).
3. 3. Measure and record pH, conductivity, and each specified analyte per kit instructions.
4. 4. Log any color, odor, floc, or aquatic-life observation.
5. 5. Enter all readings with units, GPS, time, and photos into the proof record; sign.

If it does not match the plan

• Dry-weather flow present with elevated conductivity/ammonia/surfactants -> flag suspected illicit discharge for the responsible agency.
• pH < 6 with visible iron floc -> tag suspected acid mine drainage; recommend metals lab panel.

What counts as done

• pH + conductivity recorded with units
• Each specified analyte recorded with a value
• Dry-weather flow present? recorded yes/no
• GPS waypoint + timestamped photo

Proof is measured against these, not judged by taste.
