MUMBAI, India, Feb. 13 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202641007489 A) filed by Vellore Institute Of Technology, Vellore, Tamil Nadu, on Jan. 26, for 'a system and method for predictive detection of water contamination in hydroponic cultivation.'
Inventor(s) include Dr. Padma Lakshmi G; Sundheep Kumar A P; and Dr. Kavitha B. R.
The application for the patent was published on Feb. 13, under issue no. 07/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present invention relates to a system and method for predictive detection of water contamination in hydroponic cultivation. The system, as illustrated in the block diagram (100), comprises a plurality of water-quality sensors configured to generate real-time data corresponding to physicochemical parameters of a nutrient solution, a controller operatively coupled to the sensors, and a memory storing executable instructions. The controller processes the sensor data using an adaptive multi-layered contamination evaluation framework implemented through a contamination classification pipeline (200) including dynamic statistical evaluation and static regulatory limit enforcement to compute a unified contamination factor indicative of contamination risk. The contamination factor is compared with predefined thresholds to generate a corrective control signal upon detection of contamination conditions. The system is deployable in a hydroponic cultivation setup with sensors installed (300) and enables reliable detection of both sudden and gradual contamination conditions while preventing adaptive drift."
