Log the Red River flood-stage water line near Long Bien's stilt housing (2026-08-03)
Log the Red River flood-stage water line near Long Bien's stilt housing (2026-08-03). Fund it for $160. Proof lands on-chain when it's done.
Long Bien's riverside households live on the Red River floodplain outside the main dike, and monsoon-season water rises fast enough that residents need a simple repeated record of how high it reaches to plan evacuation timing and back requests for better warning systems. Standard: UN-Habitat urban flood-risk monitoring guidance; SDG 11.5 (reduce disaster impacts). Proof: Timestamped waterline photo + log Method (UN-Habitat urban flood-risk monitoring guidance; SDG 11.5 (reduce disaster impacts).): 1. Stand on the dry raised path at the marked observation point. 2. Photograph the waterline against the fixed reference mark. 3. Record date, time, and rainfall or river-stage condition. 4. Note any visible erosion or bank change from the public vantage point. 5. Submit the photo and log entry. Done when: dated photo of waterline vs fixed mark; GPS coordinates; river-stage condition noted; log sheet entry
How this work is done
A documented method, so this packet comes out the same whoever does it. Typically 45–90 minutes. Method of record: FEMA floodplain + green-infrastructure siting screen
Bring
- GPS phone
- tape/ruler for deposition depth
- metals field kit (if sediment screen in scope)
- boots + gloves
- camera
Steps
- 1. Confirm post-event conditions are safe; navigate to the site; record GPS.
- 2. Photograph deposited sediment / affected area.
- 3. Measure deposition depth at representative points.
- 4. If a sediment contaminant screen is in scope, run the metals field kit and record values.
- 5. Note debris, hazards, and the extent (sketch).
- 6. Enter depth, any analytes, hazard notes, GPS, photos into the proof record; sign.
If it does not match the plan
- Unstable ground / submerged debris / contaminated water -> document from safe footing; do not enter.
- Elevated metals in deposited sediment -> flag before any reuse; recommend lab confirm.
What counts as done
- dated photo of waterline vs fixed mark
- GPS coordinates
- river-stage condition noted
- log sheet entry
Proof is measured against these, not judged by taste.
