Document the Cano Martin Pena canal water surface condition near Barrio Obrero (2026-07-20)

The Cano Martin Pena canal has a long documented history of pollution and is the subject of a real, ongoing community-led restoration effort. This visit documents the water surface condition from the public boardwalk only; canal water work itself stays with the licensed restoration crew. Standard: SDG 6, Clean Water and Sanitation, canal water condition record Proof: Dated photo from the fixed boardwalk vantage with written log Method (SDG 6, Clean Water and Sanitation, canal water condition record): 1. Document only, do not enter, touch, or sample the canal water 2. Stand on the public boardwalk near Barrio Obrero at a safe distance from the water 3. Photograph the current water surface condition against a fixed reference point 4. Note visible color, debris, or odor conditions in a written log without approaching further 5. Note that the licensed restoration program crew performs any physical canal work Done when: Dated photo from the fixed boardwalk vantage with written log

Pay

$200 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.

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.
