Record Orangi Town lane drain condition from the dry lane surface.

Orangi's self-built sanitary lane drains, developed through the community-financed Orangi Pilot Project starting in the 1980s, remain one of the world's most studied low-cost sanitation models, but their day-to-day condition is rarely documented block by block. A photo record from the dry lane surface, without touching or entering any drain, tracks where maintenance is most needed.

Pay

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 dry lane surface

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 dry lane surface, never enter, open, or touch any drain.
2. Photograph the drain cover and surrounding lane condition from a safe standing position.
3. Record GPS coordinates, date, and a plain-language description of visible condition.
4. Note any overflow or blockage without approaching or touching it.
5. Submit the photos and notes as your proof: a trained crew handles any drain work.

What counts as done

• dated photos
• GPS pin
• written observation log

Proof is measured against these, not judged by taste.

The standard this serves

Green Stormwater Infrastructure. Green stormwater infrastructure is the city's way of handling rain the way a meadow does: rain gardens, planted swales, and permeable pavement that let a storm soak in instead of surging down a pipe. The EPA's inspection standard keeps these systems honest, because a neglected rain garden quietly stops working while still looking like a garden. Mastery is the inspector's eye: reading inlets, overflow, plants, and soil in a single practiced pass. This packet is one such inspection, one basin checked and one record filed, which is precisely how a thousand basins stay alive.
