## What it is
A browser-based WebGL demo by Evan Wallace simulating water with realistic reflections, refraction, and caustics. It is an interactive 3D graphics showcase rather than a reusable library.

## Use cases
- see realistic water rendering in the browser
- learn WebGL water simulation techniques
- demo of caustics and refraction shaders
- explore interactive 3D graphics in JavaScript

## When to choose
- you want a visual demo of WebGL water rendering
- you are studying shader techniques for water simulation

## When to avoid
- you need a reusable water simulation library
- you need a maintained project with a license for production use

## Facets
- artifact type: application
- maturity: maintenance
- function: graphics, simulation
- domain: graphics, web-development, simulation
- platform: browser
- tags: webgl, water-simulation, demo, javascript, 3d-graphics, web-server
