MUMBAI, India, March 13 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202621006476 A) filed by St. Vincent Pallotti College Of Engineering And Technology; and Rashtrasant Tukadoji Maharaj Nagpur University, Nagpur, Maharashtra, on Jan. 22, for 'a real-time monitoring and detection system for blockages in drainage and sewer networks.'
Inventor(s) include Hayat, Mohammad Athar; Shirke, Gargi; and Lidbe, Aditi.
The application for the patent was published on March 13, under issue no. 11/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present invention is related to a real-time monitoring and detection system for blockages in drainage and sewer networks. This is IoT-enabled system designed for real-time detection of blockages, overflows, and hazardous gas buildup in drainage networks. The system comprises an ESP32 microcontroller (101) connected to multiple sensors, including a gas sensor (102), temperature sensor (105), ultrasonic water level sensor (106), and PIR sensor (104) for environmental monitoring. A GSM communication module (103) transmits sensor data via GPRS to a cloud server for remote access and analysis. The system is powered by a 12V battery (107) regulated through a 12V to 5V buck converter (108) for low-power operation. Real-time data visualization, automated alerts, and remote control are enabled through cloud and mobile platforms. The invention facilitates predictive maintenance, enhances safety, and improves operational efficiency in urban drainage systems, contributing to sustainable smart city infrastructure."
