EcoMate – Environmental & Geographic Data Integration (Implementation Plan)
This plan incorporates site-specific environmental and geographic context into proposals and telemetry, ensuring designs and alerts are accurate and relevant.
1. Geospatial & Topographical APIs
Purpose: Enhance proposals with logistics, terrain, and soil context.
- Implementation: Integrate Google Maps (geocoding, distance, elevation), SoilGrids, and DEM-based slope calculations.
- Usage: Cost multipliers in
cost_model.py for slope/soil difficulty; logistics cost per km.
- Output: Proposals automatically reflect installation complexity.
2. Climate & Hydrological Data
Purpose: Factor local weather into ROI and sizing.
- Implementation: Integrate Open-Meteo, NASA POWER for rainfall & temperature normals.
- Usage: Enrich
SystemSpec with rainfall & temperature; optimize tank sizing and ROI.
- Telemetry: Contextualize alerts (e.g., mute low-flow alarms during drought).
3. Public & Environmental Databases
Purpose: Prevent illegal or non-viable designs.
- Implementation: Query protected areas and permits APIs.
- Usage: Proposal workflow flags restricted zones; adds permit requirements to checklist.
4. Integration Pattern
File Layout:
services/geo/
geocode.py
distance.py
elevation.py
slope.py
soil.py
services/climate/
open_meteo.py
nasa_power.py
drought.py
services/environment/
protected_areas.py
permits.py
Workflow Hooks:
- Proposal workflow → enrich site & climate.
- Cost model → apply multipliers.
- Telemetry workflow → contextualize alerts.
5. Next Steps
- Build
enrich_site activity for proposals.
- Implement protected-area check for pilot region.
- Integrate rainfall normals into rainwater harvesting proposals.
- Add slope & soil multipliers to cost model.
By integrating geospatial, climate, and environmental data, EcoMate proposals and telemetry become location-aware, compliant, and resilient.
