MUMBAI, India, Sept. 14 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202611086407 A) filed by Chandigarh University on July 15, 2026, for Decentralized Greywater Reclamation And Emergency Water Distribution System.
Inventors include Kush Kumar; and Khushi Singh.
The application for the patent was published on September 11, 2026, under issue no. 37/2026.
Abstract: The present invention relates to a decentralized greywater reclamation and emergency water distribution system comprising a plurality of underground modular reservoir units configured to collect, treat, store, and distribute reclaimed greywater within urban environments. Each reservoir unit includes a hydro-cyclonic separation chamber, a biological treatment chamber, and a treated-water storage chamber connected to an emergency hydrant interface, an automated aerial firefighting vehicle refill interface, and an urban cooling distribution assembly. A hybrid renewable energy subsystem powers pumps, sensors, and controllers, while an intelligent monitoring system continuously evaluates water quality, storage level, and environmental conditions. The controller prioritizes treated water allocation for firefighting during emergencies and supplies water for urban cooling during normal operation. The modular decentralized architecture minimizes dependence on centralized wastewater treatment systems, conserves potable water, improves emergency response, supports autonomous aerial firefighting, and enhances sustainable urban water management.
