Set up a rooftop rain barrel.

Iztapalapa's hillside colonias like San Miguel Teotongo often receive piped water only once a week, so families rely on trucked water stored in open drums that lose volume to evaporation and breed mosquitoes. A sealed, screened rooftop rain barrel catches roof runoff during Mexico City's rainy season and stretches the days a household can go between water-truck deliveries. This is simple, ground-level work at a home that has invited the install.

Pay

$160 proposed

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

How this work is done

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

Steps

1. Confirm with the host that the install is invited and find a roof edge or downspout with clear runoff.
2. Mount a food-grade barrel with a tight, screened lid on a stable, leveled stand at ground level.
3. Run a simple gutter or funnel from the roof edge into the barrel inlet.
4. Fit a mosquito screen over the inlet and the overflow outlet.
5. Photograph the finished barrel with the host present and record the install date.

What counts as done

• Photo of the screened, sealed barrel connected to the roof runoff point
• Photo of the host at the site confirming the install
• GPS-tagged date of installation

Proof is measured against these, not judged by taste.

The standard this serves

Water Efficiency. Water efficiency is the quiet discipline of wasting nothing indoors. The EPA's WaterSense program sets the marks: how many gallons a minute a faucet should pass, how to find the leak that runs a toilet all night, how a household's water bill tells a story. Mastery looks like an auditor who can walk a home in an hour and find every hidden gallon. The skill is built one fixture at a time, which is exactly what this packet asks: measure one flow, find one leak, record one truth about where the water goes.
