MUMBAI, India, Oct. 26 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202611113220 A) filed by Chandigarh University on September 22, 2026, for An Automated Sensor-Based Irrigation Gate System.
Inventor includes Sahil.
The application for the patent was published on October 23, 2026, under issue no. 43/2026.
Abstract: The present invention discloses an automated sensor-based irrigation gate system for intelligent distribution of irrigation water in agricultural fields, particularly for flood-irrigated crops such as rice and wheat. The system comprises motorized irrigation gates, a microcontroller-based control unit, soil moisture sensors, water-level sensors, and rain sensors. The controller processes real-time sensor data and automatically operates the corresponding gates to regulate water flow according to predetermined irrigation thresholds. The gates may be remotely monitored and controlled through wireless communication including Wi-Fi, GSM, or LoRa. A solar panel and rechargeable battery may provide power for operation in remote agricultural areas. The system further incorporates manual override, gate-position monitoring, fault detection, and data logging functionalities. The invention reduces manual intervention and water wastage while enabling controlled and responsive irrigation management across one or more agricultural field zones
