All of it: the words, the place, the proof
Build a one-rock-deep dam across the gully bed to spread the flow and heal the grade, a resident's own property, Leakey, TX (Real County). The three points already treated are the places actively advancing; the general run of channel between them is still losing grade with every storm. A one-rock dam, a single course of rock spanning the channel bottom and keyed into both banks, heals that general reach. Unlike a check dam, which impounds water behind a barrier and commonly fails by being undercut or outflanked, this structure is exactly one rock deep, permeable, and built to slow and spread the flow rather than stop it. The two structures look similar and behave oppositely; building one where the other belongs teaches the failure mode instead of preventing it.
Fund it for $150. Proof lands onchain when it's done.
How this work is done
How this work is done
A documented method, so this packet comes out the same whoever does it.
Steps
- 1. Walk the treated reach on stable, dry ground and photograph the general channel condition before starting.
- 2. Confirm permission and any permit requirement exactly as described in this rung's safety notes before placing a single rock.
- 3. Hand place a single course of rock spanning the channel bottom, keyed a few inches into each bank by hand, with a slight notch at the center so the intended overflow point is obvious rather than accidental.
- 4. Confirm by eye and by hand pressure that no rock sits higher than one course and that water can pass through and over the structure rather than pooling deeply behind it, then photograph the finished dam from the matching before vantage.
What counts as done
- Before photo of the reach between the treated points
- Confirmation that the finished dam is exactly one rock course deep and passes water through and over it rather than impounding it behind a barrier
- Confirmation that no rock in the structure sits above knee height
- After photo of the finished one-rock dam from the matching before vantage
- Site record: the exact site's name and street address, and the contact who agreed to the work
Proof is measured against these, not judged by taste.
The standard this serves
Watershed Health. A watershed is everything the land pours into a stream, and the stream keeps the record. The EPA's bioassessment method reads that record through the small creatures living in the gravel: mayflies and caddisflies mean clean water, only worms and midges mean trouble. Mastery looks like a person who can wade one riffle with a net and tell you how the whole valley is doing. That skill is built sample by sample. This packet is one of them: one site, one careful count, one entry in the long record of a stream.
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_1790565791912_a6s251m","funderWallet":"0xYOU"}.
Open, but not claimable yet. restricted: permit-required. Regulated or permit-required work cannot be claimed on this rail yet. It stays readable; voting and pledging are free, and funding is separate from claiming.
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
