MUMBAI, India, May 1 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202611024843 A) filed by Swami Vivekanand Subharti University, Meerut, Uttar Pradesh, on March 2, for 'a method and a system for ai-enabled predictive and entitlement-based automated irrigation channel water management.'
Inventor(s) include Er. Aanchal Sharma; Er. Daud Chauhan; Ibran Khan; and Soni Dubey.
The application for the patent was published on May 1, under issue no. 18/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present disclosure relates to a method and system for AI-enabled automated irrigation channel water management in canal-based agricultural networks. The system comprises distributed soil moisture sensors, hydraulic monitoring sensors including water level and flow rate sensors, electromechanical canal gates with embedded feedback mechanisms, at least one edge computing unit, and a centralized control unit incorporating artificial intelligence and machine learning models. The system continuously acquires real-time agricultural and hydraulic data, preprocesses the data, forecasts irrigation demand based on crop growth stage and environmental parameters, determines entitlement-aware water allocation volumes, and compensates for hydraulic conveyance losses including seepage and evaporation. Coordinated gate actuation commands are generated to dynamically regulate canal discharge and ensure equitable upstream-downstream distribution."
