   The circuit consists of six BD139 transistors, each with
100K-ohm resistance at the base, and serves for the rest of
the circuit as a current limiting resistor. The emitter of both
the overhead and underground water tanks' middle and
upper transistors is then connected to a 47K-ohm resistor,
while the lower sensors transistor of both transistors is
connected to the IC LM324N. All of the underground tank's
emitters, as well as those on the overhead, are shorted, as
seen in the positive and negative sign box, which is installed
after the bridge circuit with VCC set to 9 VDC.

transistor, and the output side is connected parallel to LEDs,
