## Description

This MCP server provides specialized tools to manage the hydrologic stability and water inventory of tailings storage facilities (TSF). It models the complex interplay between tailings slurry inflow, environmental factors like precipitation and evaporation, and water recovery through reclaim rates. Use `get_water_balance_summary` to assess overall facility health, `calculate_current_inventory` to track pond volume, `evaluate_discharge_need` to prevent overtopping, and `calculate_reclaim_efficiency` to optimize water reuse. It is designed to help engineers manage water surplus, deficits, and seepage risks.

## Tools

### calculate_reclaim_efficiency
Determines how much water is successfully recovered for reuse in the plant

### calculate_current_inventory
Determines the current state of the water volume within the tailings facility

### evaluate_discharge_need
Determines if the facility needs to release water to prevent overtopping

### get_water_balance_summary
Provides a comprehensive overview of the facility's water health

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
What is the current water status if I start with 100,000m3, add 5,000m3 from slurry and rain, but lose 2,000m3 to evaporation and 500m3 to seepage, with a 0.5 reclaim rate and 150,000m3 capacity?
```

**Response:** 
```
The facility is Stable. The total inflow is 10,000m3, total outflow is 7,500m3, and the net water balance is 2,500m3.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Do I need to discharge water if my current pond volume is 120,000m3 and my maximum capacity is 110,000m3?
```

**Response:** 
```
Yes, you must discharge 10,000m3 to reach the target level, leaving a safety margin of 0m3.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Calculate the reclaimed volume for 50,000m3 of available water with a reclaim rate of 0.75.
```

**Response:** 
```
The reclaimed volume is 37,500m3, with 12,500m3 remaining unrecovered.
```

## Frequently Asked Questions

**How does this tool help prevent tailings dam failure?**
By using `evaluate_discharge_need`, you can determine exactly how much water must be released to maintain a safe pond volume and prevent overtopping.

**Can I model the impact of heavy rainfall?**
Yes, you can input precipitation values into `calculate_current_inventory` or `get_water_balance_summary` to see how rainfall affects your net water balance and pond volume.

**How is water recovery accounted for?**
The `calculate_reclaim_efficiency` tool allows you to model how much water is successfully recovered from the facility for reuse in the processing plant.
