Install a rooftop rain barrel.

Ecatepec's hillside colonias like Chiconautla see irregular municipal water pressure and long waits for the water truck, so families store water in open containers that evaporate and collect mosquito larvae. A sealed rooftop rain barrel with a screened lid captures free roof runoff during the rainy season and shortens the gap between deliveries. This is simple ground-level work at an invited home.

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. Confirm the host invites the install and find a roof edge with clear runoff.
2. Mount a food-grade, screened-lid barrel on a stable, leveled stand.
3. Connect a simple funnel or gutter section from the roof edge to the barrel inlet.
4. Seal the lid and fit a mosquito screen on the inlet and overflow.
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 roof runoff
• Photo of the host at the site
• 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.
