About Shoalwater

Shoalwater develops and supports distributed green stormwater infrastructure and related water-stewardship activities.

Our work may include project identification, site evaluation, development, documentation, measurement, aggregation, reporting, coordination, and other activities related to localized water infrastructure.

Information on this website describes Shoalwater's work generally. It does not create a project agreement, guarantee program eligibility, or obligate Shoalwater or any third party to undertake a project.

Website Content

Website content may include descriptions of services, green stormwater infrastructure concepts, water-management methods, illustrative project examples, performance estimates, watershed information, methodological materials, diagrams, maps, photographs, and site concepts.

Shoalwater may update, modify, remove, or replace website content at any time.

No Professional Advice

Unless expressly stated in a written engagement, website content does not constitute engineering, architectural, legal, financial, accounting, tax, investment, regulatory, or other licensed professional advice.

Project-specific decisions should be based on applicable site conditions, requirements, approvals, professional review, and written project documentation.

Project Eligibility & Approval

Green stormwater infrastructure projects may depend on site conditions, utility requirements, municipal review, program eligibility, inspection requirements, funding availability, contractor availability, property-owner authorization, permits, codes, and other requirements outside Shoalwater's control.

Nothing on this website guarantees eligibility for a rebate, incentive, funding program, municipal approval, corporate water program, or other third-party opportunity.

Intellectual Property

Unless otherwise indicated, original content made available by Shoalwater—including text, graphics, diagrams, photographs, visualizations, branding, reports, methodologies, layouts, and other original materials—is owned by or licensed to Shoalwater and may be protected under applicable intellectual-property law.

You may view and reference publicly available materials for legitimate informational purposes.

Without permission, you may not reproduce or republish substantial portions of Shoalwater materials, remove ownership notices, misrepresent Shoalwater materials as your own, commercialize our reports or methodologies, systematically extract site content to create a competing product or service, or use Shoalwater branding in a way that suggests an affiliation or endorsement that does not exist.

Methodology & Know-How

Public discussion of Shoalwater's approach does not constitute a waiver of rights Shoalwater may have in confidential information, proprietary materials, databases, internal controls, processes, methods, or know-how that have not been publicly disclosed.

Additional rights and restrictions may apply under project, contractor, partnership, confidentiality, or data agreements.

Acceptable Use

You may not use this website to violate applicable law, gain unauthorized access to systems, introduce malicious code, interfere with website operation, misrepresent an affiliation with Shoalwater, or infringe the rights of Shoalwater or another party.
