MUMBAI, India, Aug. 31 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202621084516 A) filed by Indian Institute Of Technology Indore on July 09, 2026, for System And Method For Automated Identification And Prioritization Of Polluted River Stretches.
Inventors include Srivastava, Abhishek; Goyal, Manish Kumar; Jain, Ansh; Deshagani, Chennakeshava; Komma, Pranitha; Nitin; Lakhani, Prayag; and Roy, Srija.
The application for the patent was published on August 28, 2026, under issue no. 35/2026.
Abstract: A system (108) and method (1600) for automated identification and prioritization of polluted river stretches is provided. A river network graph is created based on receiving multi source environmental input data corresponding to a river basin. The river network graph comprises a plurality of interconnected spatial units stored as nodes, wherein each node corresponds to a monitoring station (106), and directed edges between the nodes are indicative of upstream downstream hydrological connectivity. A node level feature vector is generated for each monitoring station (106) based on correlating the multi source environmental input data with the river network graph. A spatial pollution inference model is created based on processing the node level feature vector in accordance with the upstream downstream hydrological connectivity encoded in the river network graph. A pollution state indicator is generated for each river stretch based on correlating the node level feature vector with pollution influence propagation determined by the spatial pollution inference model. A prioritized ordering of the river stretches is provided based on correlating the pollution state indicator of each node.
