MUMBAI, India, March 13 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202621003705 A) filed by Vishwakarma Institute Of Technology, Pune, Maharashtra, on Jan. 14, for 'an automatic soil and water level-based pump control system with rainwater recycling.'
Inventor(s) include Badakh, Sakshi Anil; Mhetre, Shravani Nagesh; Desal, Nakshatra Umesh; Mane, Tanuja Umesh; Chaudhari, Prasad; Chavhan, Pranali; and Suryawanshi, Amol.
The application for the patent was published on March 13, under issue no. 11/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present invention relates to an automatic soil and water level-based pump control system with integrated rainwater recycling for sustainable irrigation management. The system comprises a soil moisture sensor, a water-level sensor, an electronic control unit (ECU), a relay-driven water pump, and a solenoid or rotary valve assembly for directing water flow. During heavy rainfall, excess water accumulated in the soil is automatically pumped into a storage reservoir to prevent waterlogging. During dry conditions, the stored water is redistributed to the soil when the moisture level falls below a predefined threshold, ensuring balanced soil hydration. The ECU continuously processes real-time sensor data and controls pump and valve operations accordingly, while safety features including dry-run protection, over-irrigation prevention, and circuit protection ensure reliable operation. The system is powered by a 12V battery, SMPS, or solar panel and optionally integrates IoT connectivity for remote monitoring. The invention enhances crop protection, promotes water conservation, and supports sustainable agriculture."
