# SCADA for Small Water Systems
**A modern, low-egress monitoring and alerting platform for small municipal and private water systems.**
This repository contains the full system design, specifications, architecture, and implementation for an intelligent SCADA solution targeted at small water systems (typically < 1,000 connections). The system combines edge computing (Raspberry Pi), hybrid AI models, and a clean multi-tenant web interface to deliver reliable monitoring with minimal data transfer costs.
---
## Project Goals
- Provide affordable, professional-grade monitoring for small water systems that cannot justify traditional SCADA costs.
- Minimize ongoing data egress costs through intelligent local processing and tiered telemetry.
- Enable both non-technical board members and licensed operators to have appropriate visibility and control.
- Build a foundation for proactive alerting, anomaly detection, and long-term system health insights using AI.
---
## Key Concepts
- **Monitored Objects**: First-class abstraction for pumps, filters, tanks, sensors, etc.
- **Tiered Telemetry**: Immutable core signals + optional signals (full telemetry vs alert-only mode).
- **Hybrid AI Architecture**: Small edge models for local decisions + larger cloud models for complex reasoning.
- **Low-Egress Design**: Heavy summarization locally, rich context only sent during alerts.
- **Multi-Tenancy**: Supports both individual system owners and professional operators managing multiple systems.

## Repository Structure
All project documentation lives under `/docs`:
```
docs/
├── vision.md
├── architecture/
├── specs/

```
Active development tasks are tracked in `/tasks`.
Agent role definitions and swarm coordination live in `/agents` and follow the Hierarchical Agent (HA) methodology defined in this template.
---
## Current Status
This project is in the **early architecture and specification phase**. The core vision, use cases, and high-level system design are being finalized before moving into detailed implementation.
