Hand-pull invasive floating weed choking Porur Lake's bund edge.

Fast-spreading floating weed and water hyacinth regularly choke Porur Lake's shallow edges, cutting oxygen for fish and blocking the lake's flood-buffering function for surrounding neighborhoods. Hand-pulling from the stable bund edge clears the immediate choke point.

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.

How this work is done

A documented method, so this packet comes out the same whoever does it.

Steps

1. Identify a floating-weed mass reachable from the stable bund edge with a long-handled tool.
2. Hand-pull or rake the weed mass to the bank without entering the water.
3. Bag or pile the removed weed clear of the water for composting or disposal.
4. Photograph the cleared water surface with GPS and date as proof.

What counts as done

• before photo
• after photo
• GPS + date

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.
