MUMBAI, India, Feb. 6 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202641007173 A) filed by Cvr College Of Engineering, Hyderabad, Telangana, on Jan. 24, for 'automatic flood prediction and drainage control system.'
Inventor(s) include Dr. B. Janardhana Rao.
The application for the patent was published on Feb. 6, under issue no. 06/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The current invention pertains to an automated flood prediction and drainage control system aimed at alleviating urban and semi-urban floods by real-time monitoring, forecasting, and automated intervention. The system incorporates various environmental sensors, including as rainfall, water-level, flow-rate, and soil moisture sensors, to continually collect hydrological data from flood-prone regions. The acquired data undergoes signal conditioning and predictive analysis to produce a flood risk index that signifies the probability of flooding before it transpires. In response to anticipated flood conditions, the system automatically manages drainage infrastructure, including pumps, gates, and valves, to reduce surplus water flow. A wireless communication module conveys real-time data and notifications to remote monitoring systems for supervisory control. The suggested innovation facilitates proactive flood management, diminishes reliance on manual intervention, and mitigates damage to life and property, rendering it appropriate for smart city and disaster management applications."
