MUMBAI, India, July 11 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202421031645 A) filed by Kumbhare Madhusudan Narayan, Pune, India, on June 22, 2024, for 'storm/rain water drainage system for massive rain water harvesting.'
Inventor(s) include Kumbhare Madhusudan Narayan.
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: "A comprehensive storm water harvesting system is disclosed, in tegrating surface water collection, filtration, and storage for non-potable reuse. The system includes a network of collection points, a first flush diversion mechanism to exclude initial runoff, and multi-stage filtration.units comprising pre-filters (e.g., mesh screens) and post-filters (e.g., sedimentation tanks). Harvested water is stored in durable tanks made from HDPE, fiberglass, or concrete, with overflow managed via retention ponds or municipal discharge connections. Water is redistributed using gravity or pump systems for uses such as irrigation and cooling. Additionally, a silt prevention system is provided, featuring unilaterally hinged valves at stormwater chamber inlets. These valves remain closed during dry periods to block silt and debris, and automatically open under gravitational force when the chamber cover is removed or inverted at the onset of rainfall. Methods for implementing both harvesting and silt prevention at scale are also described."
