MUMBAI, India, Jan. 9 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202521115100 A) filed by Rajesh Jankiram Chaudhari; Aryan Milind Ipar; Pravin Ashok Jadhao; Prasad Murlidhar Ingle; Pranav Sanjay Ingle; Tejas Sandip Jadhao; and Digvijay Rajendra Jadhav, Pune, Maharashtra, on Nov. 21, 2025, for 'water leakage detection using flow sensor and arduino uno: a real-time monitoring system.'
Inventor(s) include Rajesh Jankiram Chaudhari; Aryan Milind Ipar; Pravin Ashok Jadhao; Prasad Murlidhar Ingle; Pranav Sanjay Ingle; Tejas Sandip Jadhao; and Digvijay Rajendra Jadhav.
The application for the patent was published on Jan. 9, under issue no. 02/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present invention is a low-cost, real-time water leakage detection system utilizing an Arduino UNO microcontroller integrated with a YF-S201 Hall-effect flow sensor for pipeline monitoring. The system addresses the problem of significant non-revenue water loss in distribution systems due to pipeline leakages by offering an accessible solution that avoids the high costs and complexity of acoustic-based systems or sophisticated hydraulic model-driven approaches. The system employs an interrupt-driven pulse counting mechanism to achieve high-precision flow measurements (demonstrating 4 % accuracy). A key component of the system is an intelligent threshold-based temporal algorithm that detects sustained abnormal flow, which is a sign of leakage, by requiring the flow rate to exceed 0.5 L/min for 10 seconds. Experimental validation confirmed 95% detection accuracy with a zero false positive rate during normal usage scenarios. The system includes an alert generation circuit (buzzer and LED) and a relay for potential electromechanical control."
