-==== Water Monitoring Sensors ==== 
- 
-**Purpose:** Track tank levels and authorize irrigation schedules. 
- 
-**Required Measurements:** 
-  * Tank LOW and FULL levels 
-  * Flow rate in main and zoned pipelines 
- 
-**Optional Measurements:** 
-  * Tank temperature 
-  * Salinity / water quality 
- 
-==== Grid Water Availability & Predictive Tank Fill ==== 
- 
-**Purpose:** Optimize water sourcing from grid and local wells, based on availability probabilities. 
- 
-**Required Measurements (if grid water is available):** 
-  * Flow rate and pressure of grid water supply 
-  * Availability signal (on/off) 
- 
-**Optional Measurements:** 
-  * Historical grid water supply patterns 
-  * Probability of grid water availability in next hours 
- 
-**Integration & Control Logic:** 
-  * AOFS may delay pumping from well if there is a high probability of grid water availability 
-  * Partial tank fill strategies: maintain mandatory minimum levels locally, avoid overfilling if grid water is likely 
-  * Safety thresholds for tank levels must always be enforced, independent of probabilistic logic 
-  * Logging of decisions, sensor readings, and probabilities is required for learning and optimization
