1. 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 controller is configured to monitor the anode using the anode sensor, and wherein the controller is configured to refrain from measuring the potential difference when the moisture associated with the tank is measured to be below the predetermined threshold.
