Tailings Water Balance

Tailings Water Balance MCP Connector for Claude

A+

Calculate water inventory and hydrologic stability for tailings storage facilities.

4 tools Official Updated Oct 1, 2026 Official Vinkius Partner

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.

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

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?

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

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

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

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

The reclaimed volume is 37,500m3, with 12,500m3 remaining unrecovered.

By using `evaluate_discharge_need`, you can determine exactly how much water must be released to maintain a safe pond volume and prevent overtopping.
