## Description

This MCP server provides essential decision-support tools for cranberry growers. It allows AI agents to calculate precise water volumes needed for different flooding purposes, including harvest, winter protection, and pest control. Using `calculate_flood_volume`, growers can account for soil seepage losses in sandy, loamy, or clay soils. The server also includes `estimate_water_timing` to plan filling and draining operations, `evaluate_frost_protection` to assess thermal risks to plant buds, and `get_water_table_depth` to monitor soil saturation levels.

## Tools

### calculate_flood_volume
Determines the total water volume needed to flood a specific bed area to a target height

### estimate_water_timing
Calculates how long it takes to fill the beds or drain them completely

### evaluate_frost_protection
Predicts if a planned winter flood will successfully protect plant buds from freezing

### get_water_table_depth
Calculates the depth of the water table within the soil relative to the bed surface

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
How much water do I need for a 5000 square meter bed with sandy soil for a harvest flood at 0.2 meters height?
```

**Response:** 
```
To flood a 5000 square meter bed with sandy soil to a height of 0.2 meters for harvest, you will need 1,250 cubic meters of water, accounting for seepage loss.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Will my winter flood protect the buds if the water is 2 degrees Celsius and the expected bud temperature is -1 degree Celsius?
```

**Response:** 
```
Yes, the frost protection is successful as the water temperature remains above freezing and provides a sufficient thermal buffer for the buds.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
How long will it take to move 1000 cubic meters of water if my pump capacity is 200 cubic meters per hour?
```

**Response:** 
```
It will take 5 hours to complete the water movement.
```

## Frequently Asked Questions

**How does the tool account for different soil types?**
The `calculate_flood_volume` tool uses the selected soil type (sandy, loamy, or clay) to calculate seepage loss, ensuring the total water volume requested accounts for absorption into the ground.

**Can I use this to prepare for winter frost?**
Yes. You can use `evaluate_frost_protection` to predict if your planned water volume and temperature will keep plant buds safe from freezing temperatures.

**How do I estimate how long it will take to fill my beds?**
You can use the `estimate_water_timing` tool by providing the total volume of water needed and the flow rate of your water source.
