## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability waterpulse-us-city-water-supply-brief-b0bb6ea8
```

Example prompt: Can you pull a full water supply intelligence brief for Phoenix, Arizona — I need the reservoir storage levels, utility supply outlook, drought restrictions, infrastructure investment picture, rate trajectory, and the 5-year risk rating?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a comprehensive, multi-dimensional water supply intelligence brief for a specific US city or region — especially for utility planning, infrastructure investment due diligence, or drought risk assessment. Prefer this over specialized sibling endpoints (groundwater, streamflow, drought status) when you need the all-in-one supply outlook and risk rating rather than a single data stream.

## Known failure modes

- Location not recognized or outside US coverage — returns 404 or empty result
- Insufficient data for rural or very small localities — partial brief returned
- Payment not processed or x402 auth failure — 402 response blocking data return
- Rate limit exceeded — 429 response if too many calls in short period

## How this service works

Water supply intelligence for utility and investor agents. Covers reservoir storage, utility supply outlook, infrastructure investment, rate trajectory, drought restrictions, and a 5-year risk rating for any US city or region.

## Output

A structured intelligence brief containing current reservoir storage levels, utility supply outlook, infrastructure investment summary, projected water rate trajectory, active drought restrictions, and a 5-year water supply risk rating for the specified US city or region.
