MUMBAI, India, July 11 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202541060547 A) filed by Vignan's Institute Of Information Technology, Visakhapatnam, Andhra Pradesh, on June 25, for 'estimation and mapping of water quality using machine learning and gis.'

Inventor(s) include Mr. A. Teja; Mr. B. Ashok Kumar Reddy; Mr. Sayak Chakraborty; Mr. Reddi Eswar Sai; Ms. O. Satya; Ms. B. Lokeswari; and Mr. K. Srinivas.

The application for the patent was published on July 11, under issue no. 28/2025.

According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "Lakes, rivers, and reservoirs are vital for the environment, our health, and the economy. Unfortunately, as humans carry out more activities, the quality of water in these places is getting worse. Traditional methods of checking water quality take a lot of time, and they don't provide enough coverage in terms of areas and times, making them less useful for quick management and predicting future issues. Luckily, there are new improvements. Machine Learning (ML) now makes it easier to predict environmental changes more accurately. On the other hand, Geographic Information Systems (GIS) offer powerful tools to show these changes across different areas. The main challenge is that these two technologies haven't been fully integrated. This new approach suggests combining ML predictions with GIS maps to both estimate and show water quality. This integrated method creates a data-driven framework that can help manage water resources more effectively and ahead of time."
