## Description

This MCP server provides specialized tools for evaluating the suitability of pond sites. It uses NRCS design criteria to calculate expected runoff volume via `evaluate_runoff_potential`, determine usable storage and depth constraints with `calculate_pond_capacity`, and estimate earthwork needs using `estimate_construction_requirements`. Additionally, it assesses long-term water stability and spillway safety through `assess_site_reliability`.

## Tools

### evaluate_runoff_potential
Determines how much water the watershed will contribute to the pond

### assess_site_reliability
Evaluates if the pond will remain functional and safe over time

### calculate_pond_capacity
Determines the usable volume and structural constraints of the pond

### estimate_construction_requirements
Calculates the volume of material needed to build the pond's containment structure

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
Calculate the runoff for a 50 acre watershed with a 0.3 runoff coefficient and 5 inches of rain.
```

**Response:** 
```
The expected runoff volume is 7.5 acre-feet.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
What is the usable storage for a 2 acre pond with 15 feet of depth to bedrock and a 10% sediment factor?
```

**Response:** 
```
The usable storage is 27 acre-feet.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Estimate the cost for a containment structure with a 500 foot perimeter, 5 foot height, and 2:1 slope.
```

**Response:** 
```
The estimated construction cost is $12,500.
```

## Frequently Asked Questions

**What data is required for runoff calculation?**
To use `evaluate_runoff_potential`, you need the watershed area in acres, the runoff coefficient, and the rainfall depth in inches.

**How does soil type affect reliability?**
Soil type is critical for `assess_site_reliability`. Sandy soils increase seepage losses, which lowers the reliability score compared to clay or silt.

**Can I estimate construction costs?**
Yes, the `estimate_construction_requirements` tool provides an estimated cost in USD based on the required embankment volume.
