All of it: the words, the place, the proof
Measure the irrigated area by type at a named public landscape in Los Angeles. A public lawn has a water budget whether or not anyone wrote one down. For a park, school ground or civic landscape, take turf, shrub, native and unirrigated area from measurement or public records, pull twelve months of reference evapotranspiration from the nearest public weather station, and compute what the landscape should need under the WaterSense budget approach. Then set that beside what the site's own meter or the agency's own records say it used. The gap, in either direction, is the finding.
Offer to pay $80. The receipt lands onchain once the proof is approved.
Safety, read before you claim
Nothing potable is touched: open no pipe, turn no fitting and add no chemical. Desk work with one walked perimeter on public paths and no license asked, never entering a plant, well house, vault or meter pit.
The full safety list for this job:
- Public ground only. Never enter a plant, a well house, a vault or a meter pit; never operate a hydrant, a valve or a gate; never open any enclosure. Anything behind a fence or a lid belongs to the utility's own crews.
- This program does not test drinking water; any drinking water question routes to a certified laboratory and the local health department.
How this work is done
How this work is done
A documented method, so this packet comes out the same whoever does it.
Bring
- GPS phone, camera and a measuring wheel or tape
- public aerial imagery and the agency's landscape plan where one exists
- twelve months of reference evapotranspiration from the nearest public weather station
- the site's own water use records or meter readings
- the WaterSense labeled controller with its manual, and a rain or soil moisture sensor
- hand tools, mulch and regionally native plants for the conversion rung, with an 811 locate before any digging
Steps
- 1. Get written permission from the owning authority, naming the site and the work, before any measurement, programming or planting.
- 2. Walk and map the site: irrigated area by landscape type, and for each zone the soil, the slope, the plant type and the head type, photographed as recorded.
- 3. Pull twelve months of reference evapotranspiration from the nearest public weather station, name the station and the network, and apply plant factors from a cited source rather than from memory.
- 4. Compute the budget volume and set it beside the site's recorded use, labeling where the use figure came from, then state the gap in both volume and percent and one plain sentence on what could explain it.
- 5. For a controller packet, save the existing schedule before changing anything, program the new schedule to the zone map, pair the rain or soil moisture sensor, and photograph the old and new schedules side by side. Work at the controller face and an existing outlet only: never open an electrical enclosure and never land a wire.
- 6. For a turf conversion, mark the strip, smother or hand lift the turf, loosen the soil, plant regionally native low water species at spacing, and mulch. Then obtain written confirmation from the authority that the zone serving the strip has been shut off or re-programmed by their own staff.
- 7. Record the square footage converted and the strip's prior water use, so the saving can be counted next season rather than claimed today.
What counts as done
- Irrigated area by landscape type with the method used to measure it, from public aerial imagery, an agency plan, or a walked perimeter
- Twelve months of reference evapotranspiration with the weather station id and network named, and the plant factors used with their source
- The computed budget volume for the year and the recorded use from the site meter or the agency's records, with the source of the use figure labeled
- The gap stated in volume and percent, with a plain sentence on which way it goes and what could explain it
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.
Claiming is free. You sign to prove the wallet is yours: no card, no deposit, no fee. Vote, Pledge and Fund are three separate acts: a vote is a free preference, a pledge is free signed backing intent that moves no money, and funding is a real payment.
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
