MUMBAI, India, Feb. 13 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202641008498 A) filed by K. Swathi; and Y. Indira Muzib, Tirupati, Andhra Pradesh, on Jan. 28, for 'an integrated multi-technique process for comprehensive groundwater quality assessment.'
Inventor(s) include K. Swathi; and Y. Indira Muzib.
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 an integrated multi-technique system and process for comprehensive groundwater quality assessment. The invention provides a structured analytical workflow comprising standardized groundwater sampling and preservation, physicochemical parameter evaluation and instrumental analysis for detection of toxic heavy metals at trace to ultra- trace levels. Physicochemical parameters including pH, turbidity, electrical conductivity, total dissolved solids, alkalinity and hardness are determined using validated procedures. Heavy metal analysis is carried out through a defined integration of UV-Visible spectrophotometry, Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy (AAS) and Inductively Coupled Plasma-Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS) to enable accurate, precise and reproducible quantification of elements including chromium, iron, nickel, copper, zinc, cadmium and lead. Calibration validation, recovery assessment and precision evaluation are incorporated to ensure analytical reliability. The invention enables comprehensive interpretation of groundwater quality, identification of contamination trends and assessment of suitability with reference to drinking water standards thereby supporting environmental monitoring and public health protection."
