MUMBAI, India, July 24 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202611067109 A) filed by Manish Sharma; Bansari Sharma; Nand Kumar; and Ashwani Kumar on May 28, 2026, for System And Method For Assessing Urban Water Resilience At A Household Scale In Urban Areas.
Inventors include Manish Sharma; Bansari Sharma; Nand Kumar; and Ashwani Kumar.
The application for the patent was published on July 17, 2026, under issue no. 29/2026.
Abstract: The present invention relates to a system and method for assessing household-scale urban water resilience in areas with heterogeneous supply modalities, including centralized, decentralized, and informal sources. The system comprises a data acquisition unit to collect multi-parameter data across four domains: infrastructure, resources, governance, and social resilience. A normalization unit converts these parameters into standardized scores, while a weighted aggregation unit computes domain-specific sub-scores. The invention further includes a buffer-capacity unit to quantify household autonomy duration and a diversification index generator to calculate supply diversity coefficients. A composite index calculator determines a final resilience score using balancing logic that penalizes domain-specific underperformance. Integrated with spatial and temporal units, the system generates geo-tagged vulnerability heatmaps and tracks resilience trajectories. Finally, an output visualization unit produces a structural improvement roadmap, prioritizing interventions that simultaneously enhance supply diversity and household autonomy. This comprehensive framework captures mixed-mode water provisioning beyond traditional utility performance metrics.
