What is the SCS Curve Number method?

It is an empirical model used to estimate direct runoff from precipitation in small watersheds based on soil type and land cover.

How do I account for wet soil conditions?

You can use the `calculate_adjusted_cn` tool to adjust the base Curve Number for AMC I (dry), AMC II (average), or AMC III (wet) conditions.

Can I calculate runoff for multiple storm events at once?

Yes, the `generate_storm_series_runoff` tool allows you to provide a list of rainfall depths to predict a series of runoff results.

This MCP server provides tools to estimate surface runoff using the Soil Conservation Service (SCS) Curve Number method. It allows users to determine base curve numbers based on land use and soil groups, adjust those numbers for different Antecedent Moisture Conditions (AMC), and calculate runoff depth and volume for specific rainfall events. Use get_base_curve_number to find the initial CN, calculate_adjusted_cn to account for soil wetness, and calculate_runoff_depth to find the final runoff amount.
