BACKGROUND
[002] The background description includes information that may be useful in understanding the present invention. It is not an admission that any of the information provided herein is prior art or relevant to the presently claimed invention, or that any publication specifically or implicitly referenced is prior art.
[003] The river is a natural stream of water that flows in a channel with defined banks. Modern usage includes rivers that are multi-channelled, intermittent, or ephemeral in flow and channels that are practically bank less. Structural barriers built to obstruct or control flow of water in rivers and streams are known as dams, said dams are designed for storage of water to compensate for fluctuations in river flow rate or demand for water and energy. Moreover, increase of hydraulic head or difference in height between water levels in a lake created upstream of dam and downstream of rivers. Small rivers such as stream, creek, brook, rivulet, and rill flow into ground and becomes dry at end of its course without reaching another body of water due to uncontrolled flow rates. Rivers, undertake flood control, drainage, irrigation, drinking water, living environment beautification, and other important public interest roles. The country has a variety of protective laws, regulations and policies for the river, but due to limited awareness in environmental protection, river flow rate in urban and rural areas poses a significant challenge for government and management of environmental protection department.
[004] For sustainable water management and ecosystem, an optimum flow rate is prescribed to maintain in river or dam. The optimum flow rate is minimal water present in the river after exploitation for hydropower production, to sustain the water-dependent environment. The optimum flow rate esteems change for some factors, such as topography, water resources, climatic, farming factors etc. Every nation prescribes distinctive optimum flow esteems for sustainable water management and ecosystem to be maintained in river or dam.
[005] Studying the flow rate of rivers is a complex process involving experts in multiple scientific and engineering disciplines, including hydrology, hydraulics, mapping, computer simulation, computer visualisation, and sophisticated geospatial algorithms. This process is time-consuming and labour intensive for generating credible flow rate liquid models. Accuracy and quality of these flow rate liquid models are constant concerns, as a result, this process is very time consuming and costly.
[006] The method of combining designed instruments for calculating the flow rate of rivers similar to an anchoring cable was suggested for solving problems of installation practice and signal attenuation on banks of the river. However, it still has disadvantages of complex structure and high cost. Furthermore, a system for monitoring the flow rate of river and depth of riverbed, flow velocity, and sediment concentration has also been developed. The system comprises a plurality of sensors, a relay device, and an analysis device, wherein each of the plurality of sensor corresponds to different depths of the river. When the plurality of sensor was fixed, built-in accelerometer, water pressure gauge, and positioning element may detect moving flow rate, depth, and position of a sensor for analysing river depth, water depth, location, and flow velocity distribution in-depth direction. However, this system has a problem of the complex circuit structure, complicated construction, high cost, and low survival time. However, in the prior art there is no system and method available in market that tracks and provide accurate details of flow rate in rivers. Further, there is no device and system available in market that assists a user to provide accurate data based on comparison with previous hydrologic, habitat, and hydraulic data of a particular region.
[007] There is, therefore, a need in the art to provide a hydrological monitoring system that overcomes the above-mentioned and other limitations of the existing solutions and utilise techniques, which are robust, accurate, fast, optimum, cost effective and simple.

[0054] In an embodiment, as illustrated FIG. 1 illustrates exemplary architecture of the proposed hydrological flow monitoring system 100. In an embodiment, the hydrological flow monitoring system 100 can include one or more sensors 102 (collectively referred to as sensors 102, and individually referred to as sensor 102, hereinafter) that can be disposed at the fluid source. The sensors 102 can be configured to sense hydrological parameters associated with the fluid source, and correspondingly generate a first set of signals, where the hydrological parameters can include, but not limited to, level, velocity, flow rate, and acceleration of fluid in the fluid source. In an exemplary embodiment, the sensors 102 can include, but not limited to, level detector sensor, pressure sensor, liquid flow sensor, velocity sensor, and acceleration sensor.
[0055] In an embodiment, the hydrological flow monitoring system 100 can include a monitoring unit 104 that can be operatively coupled to the sensors 102. In an embodiment, the first set of signals can be transmitted from the sensors 102 to the monitoring unit 104. In another embodiment, the monitoring unit 104 can be configured to receive the first set of signals from at least one of the sensors 102. In yet another embodiment, the monitoring unit 104 can be configured to extract real-time hydrological parameters associated with the fluid source from the received first set of signals.
[0056] In an embodiment, the monitoring unit 104 can be configured to compare the extracted hydrological parameters with a first dataset that can include pre-determined limits associated with said parameters. In an embodiment, the monitoring unit 104 can be configured to generate a second set of signals in case the extracted hydrological parameters are found to be beyond the pre- determined limits. In another embodiment, the monitoring unit 104 can be configured to generate a third set of signals in case the extracted hydrological parameters are found to be within the pre- determined limits.
[0057] In an exemplary embodiment, the pre-determined limits of the hydrological parameters can be updated time-to-time based on a second dataset that can include, but not limited to, real-time hydrological data, habitat data, and hydraulic data associated with the fluid source.
[0058] In an embodiment, the hydrological flow monitoring system 100 can include a display unit 106 that can be operatively coupled to the monitoring unit 104. In an embodiment, the display unit 106 can be configured to receive any or a combination of the second set of signals and the third set of signals, and correspondingly display any or a combination of real-time hydrological parameters, pre-determined limits of said parameters, and comparison between the real-time hydrological parameters and the pre-determined limits of said parameters. In an exemplary embodiment, the display unit 106 can include, but not limited to, Liquid Crystal Display (LCD), Light Emitting Diode (LED), and Organic Light Emitting Diode (OLED).
[0059] As illustrated, the monitoring unit 104 can be communicatively coupled with the sensors 102 and the display unit 106 through a network 108. In an embodiment, the monitoring unit 104 can be implemented using any or a combination of hardware components and software components such as a cloud, a server 110, a computing system, a computing device, a network device and the like. Further, the monitoring unit 104 can interact with the display unit 106 through a website or an application that can reside in the proposed system 100. In an implementation, the monitoring unit 104 can be accessed by website or application that can be configured with any operating system, including but not limited to, AndroidTM, iOSTM, and the like.
[0060] Further, the network 108 can be a wireless network, a wired network or a combination thereof that can be implemented as one of the different types of networks, such as Intranet, Local Area Network (LAN), Wide Area Network (WAN), Internet, and the like. Further, the network 104 can either be a dedicated network or a shared network. The shared network can represent an association of the different types of networks that can use variety of protocols, for example, Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP), Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP), Wireless Application Protocol (WAP), and the like.
[0061] In an implementation, the sensors 102 can be positioned in vertical direction tied with a drawstring on bank of a river to sense real-time flow rate of water flowing in the river. In an exemplary embodiment, the flow rate can be calculated by measuring amount of a liquid, gas, or steam flowing through or around the flow rate sensors 102. In another exemplary embodiment, the flow rate sensor 102 can sense either volume or mass of the liquid. In fluid dynamics, said flow rate (Q) can be determined as a product of cross-sectional area (A) in a volumetric flow rate, and velocity of flowing fluid (v), i.e., Q = A * v.
[0062] In an embodiment, the real-time flow rate can be compared with the first dataset including pre-determined limits of the hydrological parameters associated with said river. In an exemplary embodiment, the pre-determined limits of the hydrological parameters can be updated time-to-time based on the real-time hydrological data, habitat data, and hydraulic data associated with the river.
[0063] In an exemplary embodiment, the hydrologic data can include, but not limited to, scientific data associated with movement, distribution, and quality of water in a region. In another exemplary embodiment, the habitat data can include, but not limited to, geographic species and ecological location analysis. In yet another exemplary embodiment, the hydraulic data can include, but not limited to, density variations, tidal water level variations, wind shear during storms (surge currents), wave data, water temperature, water salinity, weather-related or meteorological data include wind, air pressure, precipitation, air temperature, salinity, and visibility and storm tracks.
[0064] In an embodiment, when the real-time flow rate exceeds the pre-determined limits, the second set of signals can be generated, where the second set of signals can pertain to a warning that can be transmitted to computing devices of related authorities and administration.
[0065] In an implementation, warning level can be determined based on difference of the real-time liquid flow rate and the pre-determined limits. In an exemplary embodiment, according to a comparative analysis, if the real-time liquid flow rate of the river is 20 units and pre-determined limits of flow rate is also 20 units, then, in this case the real-time liquid flow rate is equal to the pre-determined limits. In such a case, a primary warning can be generated, where the warning is defined on a primary level. In another exemplary embodiment, if the real-time liquid flow rate of the river is 25 units and the pre-determined limits of flow rate is 20 units (as stated above), then, in this case the real-time liquid flow rate is exceeds the pre-determined limits. In such a case, a secondary warning can be generated, and when the warning level is secondary, corresponding warning reminder information can be transmitted to related authorities. In yet another exemplary embodiment, the warning reminder information can include, but not limited to, a standard liquid flow rate data, time information, and geographical location information.
[0066] FIG. 2 illustrates exemplary flow diagram associated with implementation of hydrological flow monitoring system, in accordance with an embodiment of the present disclosure.
[0067] In an embodiment, the hydrological flow monitoring system 100 can include sensors 102 and a monitoring unit 104. In an embodiment, the sensors 102 can be operatively coupled with the monitoring unit 104 that can be configured to monitor real-time flow rate of river, and compare the monitored data with pre-determined or configurable liquid flow rate data. In an embodiment, the hydrological flow monitoring system 100 can include a memory unit (not shown) that can be configured with pre- determined hydrologic data 208, habitat data 210, and hydraulic data 212, and results are analyzed based on the comparison, and real-time alert notifications are sent to administration.
[0068] In an embodiment, the hydrological flow monitoring system 100 can include a communication unit that can be operatively coupled to the sensors 102, the monitoring unit 104, and the display unit 106, thereby facilitating communicative coupling of the sensors 102, the monitoring unit 104, and the display unit 106 with each other. In an exemplary embodiment, the communication unit can include any or a combination of Bluetooth, WiFi module, LiFi module, and optical fibre.
[0069] As illustrated in FIG. 2, in an embodiment, at block 202, the monitoring unit 104 can be configured to calculates E-flow requirement of a river based on the hydrologic data 208, the habitat data 210, and the hydraulic data 212 associated with said river. In an embodiment, at block 204, maintenance of the E-flow of said river is taken into account. In an exemplary embodiment, maintenance of the E-flow of said river can be based on the calculation of the E-flow requirement of said river that is being performed at the block 202. In another exemplary embodiment, maintenance of the E-flow of said river can be tracked through sensors 102, as illustrated in block 214. At block 216, when the difference between the real-time flow rate and re-determined limits exceeds a predefined threshold, the control unit can determine change occurred in liquid flow rate of the river, and correspondingly a wireless communication network can alert if the E-flow is not maintained.
[0070] In an embodiment, at block 206, the display unit 106, such as LED light and LCD panel, and/or an alarm can indicate status, and send and communicate warning notifications to administration when a critical condition is detected. At block 218, the control unit can determine change occurred in liquid flow rate of the river, and correspondingly government offices can be alerted of such critical condition, and it can also be visible to public through the display unit 106.

The functions of the various elements shown in the figures may be provided through the use of dedicated hardware as well as hardware capable of executing associated software. Similarly, any switches shown in the figures are conceptual only. Their function may be carried out through the operation of program logic, through dedicated logic, through the interaction of program control and dedicated logic, or even manually, the particular technique being selectable by the entity implementing this invention. Those of ordinary skill in the art further understand that the exemplary hardware, software, processes, methods, and/or operating systems described herein are for illustrative purposes and, thus, are not intended to be limited to any particular named.
[0077] While embodiments of the present invention have been illustrated and described, it will be clear that the invention is not limited to these embodiments only. Numerous modifications, changes, variations, substitutions, and equivalents will be apparent to those skilled in the art, without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention, as described in the claim.
[0078] In the foregoing description, numerous details are set forth. It will be apparent, however, to one of ordinary skill in the art having the benefit of this disclosure, that the present invention may be practiced without these specific details. In some instances, well-known structures and devices are shown in block diagram form, rather than in detail, to avoid obscuring the present invention.
[0079] As used herein, and unless the context dictates otherwise, the term "coupled to" is intended to include both direct coupling (in which two elements that are coupled to each other contact each other) and indirect coupling (in which at least one additional element is located between the two elements). Therefore, the terms "coupled to" and "coupled with" are used synonymously. Within the context of this document terms "coupled to" and "coupled with" are also used euphemistically to mean “communicatively coupled with” over a network, where two or more devices are able to exchange data with each other over the network, possibly via one or more intermediary device.
[0080] It should be apparent to those skilled in the art that many more modifications besides those already described are possible without departing from the inventive concepts herein. The inventive subject matter, therefore, is not to be restricted except in the spirit of the appended claims. Moreover, in interpreting both the specification and the claims, all terms should be interpreted in the broadest possible manner consistent with the context. In particular, the terms “comprises” and “comprising” should be interpreted as referring to elements, components, or steps in a non-exclusive manner, indicating that the referenced elements, components, or steps may be present, or utilized, or combined with other elements, components, or steps that are not expressly referenced. Where the specification claims refers to at least one of something selected from the group consisting of A, B, C …. and N, the text should be interpreted as requiring only one element from the group, not A plus N, or B plus N, etc.
[0081] While the foregoing describes various embodiments of the invention, other and further embodiments of the invention may be devised without departing from the basic scope thereof. The scope of the invention is determined by the claims that follow. The invention is not limited to the described embodiments, versions or examples, which are included to enable a person having ordinary skill in the art to make and use the invention when combined with information and knowledge available to the person having ordinary skill in the art.
