MUMBAI, India, June 30 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202641073813 A) filed by Vellore Institute Of Technology on June 14, 2026, for Rainfall-Responsive Water Quality Monitoring Apparatus With Adaptive Sensor Fusion And Contamination Risk Prediction.
Inventors include Mohamed Yousuff A R; Dr. Rajasekhara Babu M; Dr. J Vijayashree; and Dr. J Jayashree.
The application for the patent was published on June 26, 2026, under issue no. 26/2026.
Abstract: The present invention relates to a rainfall-responsive water quality monitoring apparatus for contamination assessment in decentralized rural water sources. The apparatus integrates rainfall sensing, multi-parameter water quality sensing, adaptive sensor fusion, transformer-based temporal analysis, communication-enabled advisories, and solar-powered energy management within a unified deployable configuration. Rainfall characteristics are temporally correlated with water quality variations to estimate contamination probability and dynamically regulate sensing operations during rainfall and post-rainfall intervals. The apparatus enables predictive contamination estimation, adaptive sampling regulation, anomaly detection, explainable contamination attribution, and intelligent workload regulation for early-warning contamination assessment. The disclosed apparatus improves contamination detection reliability, optimizes energy utilization, enhances operational sustainability, and supports long-duration deployment in decentralized rural environments.
