MUMBAI, India, April 17 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202611021015 A) filed by Ajay Kumar Garg Engineering College, Ghaziabad, Uttar Pradesh, on Feb. 23, for 'solar-integrated smart well system for automated rainwater harvesting and water utilization and working method thereof.'
Inventor(s) include Sneha Bajaj; Shreya Srivastava; and Shikha Agarwal.
The application for the patent was published on April 17, under issue no. 16/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present invention discloses a solar-integrated smart well system for automated rainwater harvesting and water utilization and working method thereof. The system comprises a dual-purpose smart well lid configured to collect rainwater and generate solar energy, a primary filtration unit, a solar-powered water pump, an ultraviolet filtration unit for potable water purification, soil moisture-based irrigation distribution, and a microcontroller-based automation unit. A network of rain, water-level, and soil moisture sensors enables real-time monitoring and adaptive control of water harvesting, storage, purification, and reuse operations. Wastewater generated during purification is redirected for irrigation, thereby ensuring zero water wastage. The integrated solar power subsystem minimizes dependence on grid electricity and supports autonomous operation. The invention provides an energy-efficient, low-cost, scalable, and sustainable solution for residential, agricultural, and community-level water management applications, while significantly reducing groundwater dependency and manual intervention."
