Will SWOT be placed in a polar orbit in order to track most/all bodies of water? Also, how will this information be made available to the public?

SWOT will “see” areas of the Earth between about 78 degrees north and south latitude, so that is most of the surface water on land and in the ocean.

You can use the SWOT Swath Visualizer to see if your area of interest will be covered by SWOT. (MS)
