Document a dumping corridor above the Jukskei River in Alexandra

Trash routinely gets dumped along the road above the Jukskei River in Alexandra, where it eventually washes into the already heavily polluted channel below. A photo survey from the road builds the record needed to redirect that trash to proper collection. Standard: UNEP freshwater ecosystem health guidance; SDG 6.6 Proof: photo survey log of dumping corridor Method (UNEP freshwater ecosystem health guidance; SDG 6.6): 1. Walk the road above the river from public ground. 2. Photograph each dumping cluster with a visible reference point. 3. Note the approximate volume and material type for each cluster. 4. Record the GPS point and date for every photo. 5. Submit the survey log with photos attached. Done when: photo survey log of dumping corridor

$140 proposed

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.

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.
