More Details Connect to Claude

This MCP server provides specialized engineering tools for designing grassed waterways that manage concentrated water flow. By applying Manning's equation and accounting for vegetation retardance, the server calculates critical dimensions like width and depth. It helps engineers assess erosion risks during the vegetation establishment period and compare different channel geometries, such as parabolic and trapezoidal shapes, to ensure hydraulic stability and long-term functionality.

Calculate the dimensions for a waterway with a 50 acre drainage area, 10 cfs runoff, 2% slope, Silty soil, and Fast-Growth vegetation using a parabolic shape.

The required waterway dimensions are a width of 12.5 feet and a depth of 2.1 feet, with a calculated velocity of 3.4 feet per second.

What is the maintenance plan for a 15-foot wide waterway with Low-Maintenance vegetation on Loam soil?

The maintenance frequency is 1 time per year, with primary tasks including sediment removal and checking for erosion at the channel edges.

Compare parabolic and trapezoidal shapes for a site with a 100 acre drainage area and 3% slope.

The parabolic shape is recommended as it provides higher hydraulic efficiency and better stability for this specific slope and runoff rate.

You can use the `calculate_waterway_dimensions` tool. Provide the drainage area, peak runoff rate, slope, soil type, vegetation type, and preferred shape to get the required width and depth.
