Claim 19:
20. A system for monitoring an underground tank, comprising:
a controller;
a moisture sensor coupled in communication with the controller, wherein the controller is configured to measure a moisture associated with the tank;
a voltage probe coupled in communication with the controller, wherein the voltage probe is adapted to be disposed at least partially underground, and wherein the controller is configured to measure a potential difference between the tank and soil surrounding the tank, when the moisture associated with the tank is measured to be above a predetermined threshold; and
an anode sensor coupled to an anode of the tank and coupled in communication with the controller, wherein the anode sensor includes at least one inductive coil and is wrapped around the anode, and wherein the controller is configured to monitor the anode over time using the anode sensor and predict when the anode will no longer provide sufficient galvanic protection to the tank.
