MUMBAI, India, May 1 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202621028561 A) filed by Sage University, Indore, Madhya Pradesh, on March 10, for 'system and method for distributed flood early warning.'
Inventor(s) include Ms. Sakshi Agrawal; Prof. Dharmendra Pandey; Dr. Shubha R Singh; Dr. Meet Ramchandani; Aditya Sharma; Soujanya Bansal; and Sagar Kethwas.
The application for the patent was published on May 1, under issue no. 18/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present disclosure relates to distributed flood early warning systems. The system 102 includes a submersible pressure transducer 104 measuring hydrostatic pressure at a monitoring location, a tipping-bucket rain gauge 106 detecting precipitation, a wireless transceiver 108, and a hardware processor 112. The processor 112 receives sensor signals from the pressure transducer 104 and rain gauge 106, correlating the rate of change in water level with rainfall intensity to distinguish flash flood conditions from stage flood conditions. When water level exceeds a predetermined threshold, the processor 112 generates an alert packet transmitted through the wireless transceiver 108 to neighboring monitoring nodes 110 via a peer-to-peer mesh relay topology. This architecture achieves distributed flood warning without requiring centralized server infrastructure, improving system resilience and enabling real-time flood detection across geographically dispersed locations."
