MUMBAI, India, June 30 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202641074773 A) filed by Vellore Institute Of Technology on June 17, 2026, for “a Water Potability Detection System”.
Inventors include K. Krishna Rani Samal; and Mudaliar Karthik Shridhar.
The application for the patent was published on June 26, 2026, under issue no. 26/2026.
Abstract: The present invention relates to a system and method for real-time water potability detection using an embedded, sensor-based architecture. The system comprises a water-quality sensor array configured to measure physicochemical parameters including pH, turbidity, total dissolved solids, conductivity, and temperature, and a microcontroller operatively connected to the sensor array. The microcontroller is configured to acquire sensor readings, preprocess the readings using techniques such as noise filtering, normalization, outlier correction, and feature scaling, and input the processed data into a locally deployed machine-learning inference module. The machine-learning model, trained on multiple water quality parameters, classifies the water sample as potable or non-potable in real time. The system further includes an output indicator for communicating the classification result through visual, display, or wireless means. Advantageously, the invention performs all processing locally without requiring network connectivity, thereby enabling low-latency, portable, and cost-effective water quality assessment suitable for remote and resource- constrained environments.
