MUMBAI, India, Jan. 9 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202521110494 A) filed by Dr. D. Y. Patil Institute Of Technology, Pune, Maharashtra, on Nov. 12, 2025, for 'smart road side tree irrigation system.'
Inventor(s) include Priyanka Chitale; Shubhangi Vairagar; Vedika Chavan; Nikita Keskar; and Shreya Gaikwad.
The application for the patent was published on Dec. 12, under issue no. 50/2025.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The invention bridges toward a very advanced technology providing better watering and maintenance of urban trees with many applications like the IoT that should go along with the tree, soil with moisture, and environmental conditions using a camera and automated drip irrigation-a truly Smart Roadside Tree Irrigation System. This system is primarily designed to increase the sustainability and health of the roadside tree at all costs while minimizing water wastage and man intervention. The system allowed for the real-time monitoring of tree health along with advancing features for soil moisture levels and climate conditions, measured through the use of camera sensors. This will in turn trigger an automatic drip irrigation system to apply exactly the right amount of water for each and every tree based on this sensor input, thereby maximizing the use of water for that purpose. Data capture from the cameras is interpreted by the control unit, which is integrated with cloud storage for real-time monitoring and data analysis. All information is relayed into a very simple-to-use mobile app that makes checking if the trees are watered on time by the authorities and notifying them according to the irrigation schedule. The system provides scope for smart city integration that will afford data- based insights for intelligent urban planning, environmental management, and equitable resource distribution. The irrigation system is made designed to be scalable to other urban environments such as highways, roadside, or even city parks. This invention was conceived to solve serious urban challenges in tree care: the conservation of water, efficiency in operations, and better care of the environment. It provides solutions resilient and flexible for the future of greenery urban infrastructure."
