## Description

This MCP server provides essential geotechnical tools for managing groundwater during excavation. It allows AI agents to calculate the total water volume to be removed using `calculate_flow_rate`, determine the physical layout of wells with `calculate_well_configuration`, and specify mechanical equipment needs via `calculate_pump_requirements`. It also includes `evaluate_boundary_impact` to adjust flow rates based on environmental constraints like nearby rivers.

## Tools

### calculate_pump_requirements
Determines the mechanical pump equipment necessary to move the calculated flow

### calculate_well_configuration
Determines the number of wells needed and how far apart they should be placed

### evaluate_boundary_impact
Adjusts the expected flow rate based on environmental constraints like nearby water bodies

### calculate_flow_rate
Determines the total volume of water that must be removed per minute to achieve the target drawdown

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
Calculate the flow rate for an excavation 50m long, 30m wide, with a groundwater level of 10m, a required drawdown of 5m, permeability of 0.0001 m/s, and a radius of influence of 100m.
```

**Response:** 
```
The calculated total flow rate is 1,250 L/min, with a theoretical drawdown of 5.0m and a total water volume removed of 450 cubic meters.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
I need to know how many wells to install for a flow rate of 500 L/min if each well has a capacity of 150 L/min and the excavation perimeter is 200m.
```

**Response:** 
```
You will need 4 wells, which will be spaced 50 meters apart along the perimeter, providing a redundancy factor of 1.2.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
How many pumps are required for a flow of 1000 L/min if each pump handles 400 L/min and I want a 20% safety margin?
```

**Response:** 
```
You will need 3 pumps, providing a total capacity of 1200 L/min with a 83.3% utilization rate.
```

## Frequently Asked Questions

**How do I calculate the total water flow needed?**
Use the `calculate_flow_rate` tool by providing the excavation dimensions, soil permeability, and required drawdown.

**Can I account for nearby rivers in my calculations?**
Yes, use the `evaluate_boundary_impact` tool to adjust your flow rate if the excavation is near a constant-head boundary.

**How many pumps will I need for my site?**
You can determine the exact number of pumps required by using the `calculate_pump_requirements` tool with your calculated flow rate and pump capacity.
