Frequently asked questions
Explore all questionsWhat can I do on SWaN?
SWaN follows Assert, Find, Trade: suppliers assert credit supply, regulators confirm approval and release, and developers assert demand; participants find matching supply and demand, then keep each trade linked to its parties and credits. SWaN (Stream, Wetland, and Nutrient) is developed and operated by Water Ledger Global with Virginia DEQ. Public browsing and transaction eligibility are different; transactions require registration and compliance with program rules.
How do I check whether a credit suits my permit?
A listing helps you find potential supply; suitability still depends on your permit, the credit type, location and applicable program rules. Confirm the requirements with your consultant or the relevant authority before proceeding. SWaN does not replace the regulatory approval process.
Can I trade water directly from the public Facts & Flowsview?
The public Facts & Flows view helps people explore water accounts. Transaction access, eligible participants and trading rules depend on the implementation and the water scheme. A public record or displayed balance is not itself an offer to trade or confirmation of transaction eligibility.
