## Description

This MCP server provides specialized tools for agricultural drainage design. Use `get_steady_state_spacing` to determine the lateral distance between drains based on soil hydraulic conductivity and drainage requirements. Use `get_transient_drawdown_rate` to model how quickly the water table recedes, and `estimate_time_to_target_depth` to predict when the water table will reach a specific depth. The server also includes `validate_design_parameters` to ensure your proposed drainage layout is physically and mathematically consistent.

## Tools

### estimate_time_to_target_depth
Predicts the time required for the water table to reach a specific desired depth

### get_steady_state_spacing
Determines the optimal distance between drains required to maintain a specific water table level under constant inflow

### get_transient_drawdown_rate
Calculates how quickly the water table will drop toward the drain level after a drainage event

### validate_design_parameters
Checks if a set of proposed drainage design parameters is physically and mathematically consistent

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
What is the optimal spacing for drains if the hydraulic conductivity is 1.5 m/day and the drainage coefficient is 0.01 m/day, with a drain depth of 1.2m and effective radius of 0.05m?
```

**Response:** 
```
The calculated optimal spacing for these soil conditions is 42.5 meters.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
How long will it take for the water table to reach 0.5m depth from an initial depth of 0.2m, given a spacing of 30m, conductivity of 1.0 m/day, drain depth of 1.0m, radius of 0.05m, and double drainage?
```

**Response:** 
```
The water table will reach the target depth of 0.5m in approximately 4.2 days.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Is a design with 2m drain depth, 50m spacing, and 1m barrier depth valid?
```

**Response:** 
```
Yes, the proposed design parameters are physically and mathematically consistent.
```

## Frequently Asked Questions

**How do I calculate the distance between drains?**
You can use the `get_steady_state_spacing` tool. Provide the soil's hydraulic conductivity, the required drainage coefficient, the drain depth, and the effective radius of the pipe.

**Can I predict how long it takes for the water table to drop?**
Yes, use the `estimate_time_to_target_depth` tool. It calculates the time required for the water table to reach your desired depth based on the drawdown rate.

**What is double drainage?**
Double drainage occurs when water flows both above and below the drain level. You can account for this in `get_transient_drawdown_rate` by setting the `isDoubleDrainage` parameter to true.
