Oasis and greywater in news and articles
Many media outlets turn to Oasis Design for original, accurate content. We work on this stuff because we believe in it, and the more widely distributed the information the better.
(Oasisauthoritative on many, many topics; check out our Astounding Google ranks)
If you are crafting a piece and think we might have some text or graphics which could benefit your project, please Email us .
Depending on the outlet and how much work we have to do, our images and text may be used with a moderate charge, or, especially if we don't have to modify the material, nothing more than a credit (e.g., "this material used with permission from Oasis Design, oasisdesign.net").
Our material has been used in scores of articles and books.
At times our information has been reproduced without critical context or qualifiers
so that it could lead people to build something wrong. We prefer to have the
opportunity to check articles featuring our material for technical accuracy.
Many publications have asked us to check other writing for technical accuracy
and this is now a service we offer as well.
