MUMBAI, India, Jan. 2 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202541123537 A) filed by Manju. M; Bibija. J; D. Mohan; and S. A. Engineering College, Chennai, Tamil Nadu, on Dec. 8, 2025, for 'intelligent rural water safety monitoring and disease early warning device.'
Inventor(s) include Manju. M; Bibija. J; and D. Mohan.
The application for the patent was published on Jan. 2, under issue no. 01/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "SmartWater Sentinel is an intelligent, solar-powered system set out to continuously monitor drinking water quality and early warning of possible contamination. SmartWater Sentinel has been designed to help the rural and underserved communities who are often plagued with water-borne diseases and are deprived of any regular testing facilities. The system operates on two layers of protection: real-time IoT sensors that monitor pH, turbidity, temperature, and TDS indices, and weekly pathogen-verification modules using an ESP32-CAM to read color-based test strips for microbial detection. The SmartWater Sentinel reliably transfers data even when the connectivity is poor and unstable, using a dual-communication setup-LoRa for local transmission and GSM/Internet as a fallback.All the information collected from SmartWater Sentinel is analyzed on an AI-driven platform to detect anomalies, correlate water quality disturbances with environmental conditions, and estimate risk before ever developing into a serious health threat. Once any concerns are detected, the system then sends out alerts via SMS, IVR, and even simple LEDs which can be seen and understood by end users with limited literacy. Affordable, scalable, and easy to maintain, SmartWater Sentinel provides an achievable and sustainable route to protect drinking water in such areas and promote healthier communities in remote settings with resource insufficiencies."
