## Description

This MCP server provides specialized engineering tools for analyzing water movement and stability risks in tailings storage facilities. It allows AI agents to calculate the phreatic surface, estimate total seepage volume, evaluate exit gradients at specific coordinates, and assess the effectiveness of drainage systems. By connecting to Vinkius Edge, agents can perform complex hydraulic calculations using facility geometry, material properties, and hydraulic conditions to ensure dam stability and liner performance.

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
What is the estimated seepage volume for a facility with a liner integrity of 0.9?
```

**Response:** 
```
The total flow rate for the facility is 0.045 m³/s with a seepage loss component of 0.002 m³/s.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Calculate the phreatic surface for the current geometry and hydraulic head.
```

**Response:** 
```
The phreatic surface has been calculated. The maximum saturation depth is 12.5 meters and the saturation volume is 450.0 cubic meters.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Is the exit gradient at the downstream toe within safe limits?
```

**Response:** 
```
The exit gradient at the specified coordinates is 0.05, which is well below the critical threshold. The stability status is Stable.
```

## Frequently Asked Questions

**How can I check the stability risk at the dam toe?**
You can use the `assess_exit_gradient` tool to evaluate the hydraulic gradient at specific coordinates, which helps identify risks of piping or internal erosion.

**Can this tool account for liner leakage?**
Yes, the `estimate_seepage_volume` tool includes a liner integrity parameter to account for how efficiently the installed liner prevents water loss.

**How do I determine the saturation boundary?**
Use the `calculate_phreatic_surface` tool to determine the location and shape of the saturation boundary based on facility geometry and hydraulic conditions.
