Record Sholinganallur eri (tank) bund condition from the public path.

Chennai's centuries-old eri (tank) system once cascaded rainwater across hundreds of interlinked water bodies, but many, including Sholinganallur eri, are degraded by encroachment and pollution. A standing photo record from the public bund path tracks condition without any water contact.

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 — recorded, and readable any time at vealth.net/labor/credit/(your wallet). You see which before you claim, never after.

Proof

Photo + GPS + written condition log from the public bund path

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.

Steps

1. Walk only the public bund path, never step into the eri water or mud.
2. Photograph the eri edge in multiple directions, noting encroachment and water condition.
3. Record GPS coordinates, date, and a written description of what you observed.
4. Note any visible discharge point without approaching it.
5. Submit the photos and notes as your proof: do not touch, enter, or sample the water.

What counts as done

• dated photos
• GPS pin
• written observation log

Proof is measured against these, not judged by taste.

The standard this serves

Wetland Condition. Wetlands are the landscape's kidneys and nurseries at once: they filter the water, absorb the flood, and raise the young of half the creatures around them. The EPA's rapid assessment gives a trained visitor a way to grade one honestly: the plants present, the water's path, the soil, the wear at the edges. Mastery looks like walking a marsh and knowing, defensibly, how it is doing and what threatens it. This packet is one such visit, one wetland's condition recorded to the method. What is watched can be defended; unwatched wetlands quietly disappear.
