MUMBAI, India, Oct. 26 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202621103966 A) filed by Ramdeobaba University, Nagpur; Rewatkar, Rasika M.; Tidke, Ved; Agarwal, Anika; and Jain, Vedika on August 28, 2026, for A Modular Smart Water Can For Real-Time Water Quality Monitoring And Water Usage Estimation.
Inventors include Rewatkar, Rasika M.; Tidke, Ved; Agarwal, Anika; and Jain, Vedika.
The application for the patent was published on October 23, 2026, under issue no. 43/2026.
Abstract: The present invention relates to a modular smart water can (100) for real-time water quality monitoring and water usage estimation. The modular smart water can (100) includes a water reservoir (110) for storing drinking water, a water dispenser (120), a sensor cap (130) mountable on the water reservoir (110), a pH sensor probe (140), a total dissolved solids sensor module (150), a load cell sensor base (160), a microcontroller unit (170). The sensor cap (130) and load cell sensor base (160) form a separate retrofit assembly, with the water reservoir (110) positioned there between, to provide water quality monitoring and weight-based usage estimation without permanently integrating electronics into the water reservoir (110). The microcontroller unit (170) receives pH, dissolved-solids, and weight signals, determines water safety using predefined thresholds, estimates remaining water after empty-container weight subtraction, controls a OLED display (180) and an LED indicator (190).
