MUMBAI, India, May 29 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202631029319 A) filed by Narula Institute Of Technology, Kolkata, West Bengal, on March 11, for 'decentralized water quality monitoring system with blockchain-verified data integrity.'
Inventor(s) include Ms. Swarnali Daw; Dr. Neepa Biswas; Dr. Suchismita Maiti; Ms. Bingshati Monal; Arijit Roy; Harshit Prakash Srivastava; Aditya Kumar; and Aayush Sinha.
The application for the patent was published on May 29, under issue no. 22/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "A decentralized water quality monitoring system is disclosed that integrates IoT sensor networks with blockchain technology to ensure data integrity and autonomous validation. The system comprises multiple sensor nodes that capture and cryptographically sign water quality parameters, anchoring hashes of these readings to a blockchain while storing full payloads in distributed storage. A Dynamic Trust Scoring Engine (DTSE) assesses sensor reliability in real-time, which informs a Trust-Weighted Data Fusion (TWDF) module to produce high-confidence aggregated datasets. An Automated Anomaly Resolution Protocol (ARP) provides multi-source verification of suspicious data through sentinel nodes and satellite imagery, updating trust scores via a self-correcting feedback loop. The architecture enables the use of low-cost sensors for regulatory-grade environmental monitoring by providing a transparent, tamper-proof, and auditable record of water health."
