MUMBAI, India, March 13 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202641024446 A) filed by Chennai Institute Of Technology, Chennai, Tamil Nadu, on March 2, for 'automated water resource optimization device.'
Inventor(s) include Jai Ganesh. J; Vigneshram M; Deepan Kumar C; G. Maheswaran; Anushraj B; and M. Baskar.
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 AUTOMATED WATER RESOURCE OPTIMIZATION DEVICE removes the guesswork in crop watering. It is constructed on a network of soil moisture sensors installed in various regions of the field and water flow sensors on the irrigation pipes. These sensors continually monitor the amount of moisture in the soil and the flow of water in the system. All such data is transmitted wirelessly to a central controller. The controller does not sit and wait; it immediately goes into action, identifying dry areas, leakages, or clogging and adjusting the irrigation automatically, all without a human interfering. However, it does not limit itself to sensor readings only. The weather forecasts, temperature, humidity, and special crop needs are also drawn into the system to adjust the irrigation schedule. Smart valves are operated using energy-saving actuators, which supply the necessary amount of water to each zone. Thus, each of the fields receives what it really requires-no more, no less. Should you need to scale up, then additi."
