All of it: the words, the place, the proof

Find every public monitoring well within reach of Los Angeles and plot depth to water over time. An aquifer keeps its own books and publishes them as a hydrograph, and a falling water level is the sign of decline. Use the USGS National Water Information System and the state or district network run by the California State Water Resources Control Board and the Los Angeles Regional Water Quality Control Board, and pull the full published record for each well. Report the trend per well with its slope and its period, name the wells that stopped reporting, and say plainly which way the Los Angeles River and the San Fernando groundwater basin is going. No projection, no model, only the published readings.

Offer to pay $80. The receipt lands onchain once the proof is approved.

What it looks like
At a desk, a worker pulls a public monitoring well's published readings from the USGS site on a laptop screen, plots the line over time, and marks the wells that stopped reporting.

This job is not funded yet, so this figure is a proposed price, not money held for the worker. 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
well list with site ids + the published hydrograph per well + a stated trend with slope, period + the baseline's anchor hash

This is exactly what gets it approved. Nothing settles without it.

Safety, read before you claim

Desk work from public records, and this job asks for no license or supervision. No site visit is required and none is implied; never enter a plant, well house or meter pit, or operate a valve or hydrant.

How this work is done

How this work is done

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

Bring

  • laptop with a spreadsheet
  • the state or district water rights and withdrawal registry, open in a browser
  • the utility's published monthly or annual water reports
  • USGS National Water Information System site pages for the local gauges and monitoring wells
  • a hashing tool for the anchor step
  • GPS phone and camera for the one bank or gauge photo

Steps

  1. 1. Name the system and the source exactly as the agency names them, then list every record type that could exist for it: water right, permit, contract, registered withdrawal, diversion order, compact allocation.
  2. 2. Search each registry for the system by name and by any parent utility or district, and record for every hit the issuing agency, the filing reference, the allowed volume in the record's own units, and the date of the version read. Where a search returns nothing, write not found and write down the search that was run.
  3. 3. Pull the volume actually taken for the reporting period and LABEL each figure at the point of entry: utility report, agency registry, owner meter, or no data. Never convert units without showing the conversion in the sheet, and never fill a gap with an average.
  4. 4. Pull the published record for every public gauge and monitoring well within reach, keep the full series rather than the last reading, and state a trend per site with its slope and the period the slope was computed over.
  5. 5. Set allowed volume, taken volume and the same period one year earlier side by side, and write one plain sentence saying which way the place is going and which figure in the sheet is the weakest.
  6. 6. Publish the sheet and the sentence in full, hash the published file, and anchor the hash via vealth.net/anchor before handing it to anyone.

What counts as done

  • A list of every public monitoring well found near the place, each with its USGS site number or state well id and its operator
  • The published depth to water record for each well, with the first and last reading dates and the number of readings
  • A stated trend per well: rising, falling or flat, with the slope in feet per year and the period it was computed over, plus any well whose record has stopped
  • The baseline published and its content hash anchored via vealth.net/anchor

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, made by the payer straight to the worker, with no Vealth fee. Paying Vealth is closed: Vealth takes no new card or wallet payment for a job. To fund a job, offer to pay the worker directly, then pay them yourself when you accept the proof, from your own wallet or by your own card or bank. From a wallet: prepare_token_offer, sign, submit_token_offer; after the proof is accepted you pay the worker on chain and the worker records it (prepare_token_settlement, or POST /labor/settle for USDC on Base). By card or bank: prepare_direct_offer, sign, submit_direct_offer; you pay the worker yourself and the worker records it with prepare_direct_settlement. Both are free, need no gas, and move no money through Vealth.

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
