MUMBAI, India, June 30 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202631071333 A) filed by National Institute Of Technology Patna on June 08, 2026, for Control Of A Water Distribution Network Under An Intermittent Supply Regime.
Inventors include Kumar, Deepak; and Maurya, Kranti Kumar.
The application for the patent was published on June 26, 2026, under issue no. 26/2026.
Abstract: The present disclosure provides control of a water distribution network (102) under an intermittent supply regime (202). The system (100) includes hydraulic sensors (102-2) generating measurement signals (102-2A) during pressurised and de-pressurised phases (204). A predictive processor (104) segregates these signals by phase to generate phase-specific leak probability values (104-2) and carbon-emission values (104-4). A controller (106) weights these values against service-continuity constraints (106-2) to generate pump-scheduling commands (106-4) and pressure-regulation set-points (106-6). An actuator (108) adjusts pump operation (212) and line pressure (214) accordingly, facilitating recursive feedback for subsequent supply cycles. Unlike conventional reactive monitoring systems that rely on manual inspection or static reporting, this approach utilizes phase-aligned predictive analytics and a sustainability-driven energy sub-processor (104-8) to minimize water loss and ecological footprints while ensuring hydraulic reliability across fluctuating network states.
