What is the difference between the annual and event-based tools?

The `calculate_annual_yield` tool uses USLE for long-term average annual erosion, while `calculate_event_yield` uses MUSLE for specific storm or erosion events.

How can I determine if a dam is sufficient for my target?

You can use `calculate_trapping_requirement` to find the exact fraction of sediment that must be intercepted to reach your desired target yield.

Can I analyze where sediment is coming from?

Yes, the `evaluate_erosion_sources` tool allows you to determine the ratio between upslope erosion and channel erosion.

This MCP server provides specialized tools for hydrological and geological modeling. It allows AI agents to calculate annual sediment yield using calculate_annual_yield, estimate event-based sediment production with calculate_event_yield, and determine sediment concentration in runoff. It also includes tools to calculate the calculate_trapping_requirement for sediment control structures and to evaluate_erosion_sources by distinguishing between upslope and channel erosion contributions.
