## Description

This MCP server provides specialized tools for hydrological analysis. It calculates the immediate capacity of soil to absorb water using `get_initial_infiltration_rate`, determines total water volume via `get_cumulative_infiltration`, and assesses surface runoff likelihood with `estimate_runoff_risk`. It also evaluates how soil structure and density interact through `analyze_soil_structure_impact` to determine porosity and stability.

## Tools

### analyze_soil_structure_impact
Evaluates how soil structure and bulk density interact to affect infiltration potential

### estimate_runoff_risk
Assesses the likelihood of surface runoff occurring during a rain event

### get_cumulative_infiltration
Determines the total volume of water absorbed by the soil over a specific duration

### get_initial_infiltration_rate
Calculates the immediate capacity of the soil to absorb water at the start of a rain event

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
What is the initial infiltration rate for sandy soil with a bulk density of 1.2 and a bare surface?
```

**Response:** 
```
The initial infiltration rate for the sandy soil is 25.5 mm/hr with an influence factor of 0.8 due to the bare surface condition.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Calculate the total volume of water infiltrated over 2 hours if the initial rate is 30 mm/hr and the final rate is 10 mm/hr using the Horton model.
```

**Response:** 
```
The total volume of water infiltrated over 2 hours is 42.4 mm.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Assess the runoff risk if the rainfall intensity is 50 mm/hr, current infiltration is 30 mm/hr, moisture is 0.8, and vegetation cover is 10%.
```

**Response:** 
```
The runoff risk is extreme with a probability of 0.92, primarily driven by high soil saturation and low vegetation cover.
```

## Frequently Asked Questions

**What models are used for infiltration calculations?**
The server supports both Green-Ampt and Horton infiltration models to calculate cumulative water absorption.

**How does soil texture affect the results?**
Soil texture is a primary input for `get_initial_infiltration_rate`, as sand, silt, and clay have different pore size distributions that dictate water entry speed.

**Can I assess runoff risk for a specific rain event?**
Yes, by using `estimate_runoff_risk` with current infiltration rates, rainfall intensity, and vegetation cover, you can determine the probability of surface runoff.
