Run a macroinvertebrate bioassessment on the Salt River and the Phoenix Active Management Area aquifer.
Sample one riffle downstream of the main return point near Phoenix and one upstream as control. Read all of it
Not funded yet. Settles as earned credit, $85 proposed.
Proof it takes, the deadline, the level
- ProofGPS of both reaches at public access points + kick net photos + family level tally + biotic index per reach + water temperature with time of day

All of it: the words, the place, the proof
Sample one riffle downstream of the main return point near Phoenix and one upstream as control. Draw, diversion and return all show up in the animals before they show up in a report. On a public access reach of the Salt River and the Phoenix Active Management Area aquifer, kick sample both riffles, sort and tally families in the tray, and compute the family level biotic index for each. Record water temperature and time of day at both, because a warmed return shows there first. the state's 2023 Phoenix AMA groundwater model found unmet demand at the 100 year assured supply horizon and new groundwater based subdivision certificates were paused, so every gallon in this valley now carries a public argument.
Fund it for $85. The receipt lands onchain once the proof is approved.
How this work is done
How this work is done
A documented method, so this packet comes out the same whoever does it.
Bring
- kick net or D-frame net
- white sorting tray
- forceps
- sample jars + ethanol
- family-level ID key
- GPS phone
- waders/boots
- camera
Steps
- 1. Navigate to a riffle habitat; record GPS; photograph the reach.
- 2. Disturb the substrate upstream of the net for a fixed time/area (kick sample) per RBP.
- 3. Transfer the catch to the sorting tray; pick and sort organisms.
- 4. Identify to family; tally counts; record EPT (Ephemeroptera/Plecoptera/Trichoptera) taxa.
- 5. Compute the biotic index score from the tally.
- 6. Note substrate and habitat condition.
- 7. Enter tally, EPT count, index score, GPS, photos into the proof record; sign.
What counts as done
- GPS waypoints of the upstream control and the downstream reach, both at public access points, with a photo of each
- Photos of the kick net sample and the sorted families in the tray
- The family level tally and the computed biotic index for each reach, with the key or reference used
- Water temperature at each reach with the time of day and the instrument used
Proof is measured against these, not judged by taste.
What is promised, and what is not
Three separate acts, never one: a vote is a free signed preference that moves no money; a pledge is free signed backing intent, balance-checked, that moves no money and never marks the packet funded; funding is a real payment that backs the wage. Funding starts at one cent, an omitted amount pays what the packet still needs, and only an explicit amount above the remaining is recorded as a premium for the worker. Money settles only on accepted proof. An agent can fund it in one x402 call: POST /nurture/fund {"workId":"WORK_1788298703622_tnj71hf","funderWallet":"0xYOU"}.
Claiming is free. You sign to prove the wallet is yours: no card, no deposit, no fee. Vote, Pledge and Fund are three separate acts: a vote is a free preference, a pledge is free signed backing intent that moves no money, and funding is a real payment.
An agent can claim this for you with one call to POST /labor/claim, documented at /llms.txt.
Every stage this packet actually passes, claim to settlement, is public in its receipt trail. A stage that has not happened is not claimed.
Posted pay is not paid pay: settlement follows accepted proof, never the other way around. Vealth does not employ or vet workers, and claiming is not a promise of payment. See how proof and receipts work.
Other acts: vote, pledge, fund
