MUMBAI, India, May 29 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202611052652 A) filed by Vaidic Srijan Llp, Ghaziabad, Uttar Pradesh, on April 24, for 'method for improving water quality in a stagnant or slow-moving freshwater body.'

Inventor(s) include Madhukar Swayambhu; Chandra Shekhar; and Pankaj Kumar.

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: "The present invention relates to a method for improving water quality in stagnant or slow-moving freshwater body, including ponds, lakes, wetlands, irrigation tanks, reservoirs, and industrial effluents. The method comprises assessing water quality and sediment parameters such as BOD, COD, dissolved oxygen, TDS, TSS, pH, coliform count, and sludge depth, followed by preparing an aqueous plant-based formulation from selected bioactive plants including Phyllanthus emblica, Glycosmis pentaphylla, Calotropis gigantea, Terminalia arjuna, Ficus benghalensis, Drimia indica, Hydrocotyle sibthorpioides, Solanum lasiocarpum, Plantago major, Asparagus curillus, and Datura stramonium. The extract is diluted and applied in a controlled manner to the water body, stimulating native microbial populations to accelerate organic matter decomposition, reduce chemical and biological contaminants, enhance dissolved oxygen, and improve overall water quality. The method is eco-friendly, scalable, cost-effective, and operates without synthetic chemicals, external microbial cultures, or mechanical aeration, offering a comprehensive approach for water remediation and environmental restoration."
