Specification

DESC:FIELD OF INVENTION
The current invention relates to the field of an autonomous, intelligent, internet of things (IoT) based water recycling system for water bodies. The system is especially adapted for recycling water in an aquaculture environment as well as for Industrial wastewater management while monitoring and maintaining water quality parameters at desired levels.
BACKGROUND
Climate change and a range of industrial and human activities have led to nutrient infusion into the lakes and reservoirs resulting in frequent outbreaks of algal blooms. Excess level of nutrients leads to reduced levels of dissolved oxygen in a water body. The reduced levels of oxygen at the hypolimnion or sediment water interface releases harmful elements from the sediment. Release of phosphorous and ammonia in aerobic conditions contributes significantly to eutrophication leading to algal bloom. In the case of aquaculture systems, the frequent disease outbreaks leads to increased mortality of aquatic animals. Presence of excreta and excessive deposition of feed waste leads to increase in toxicity further contributing to mortality. Therefore, regular exchange of contaminated water with decontaminated water is essential.
Most wastewater management and aquaculture systems need manual intervention leading to irregularities in water quality management. For optimal growth of aquatic animals, wastewater needs to be exchanged in a timely manner along with provision of appropriate amounts of feed and nutrients. The prior art lacks an approach to recycle water, optimize feeding, and screen waste in an intelligent manner. Often replenishing nutrients and removing wastewater from the sediment without disturbing the water column has not been addressed in existing wastewater management system.
The current invention provides an intelligent water recycling system and sediment waste collection system which screens waste from sediment and mixes ingredients such as drug, nutrients and dispenses recycled water to the waterbody based on input of the Artificial intelligence module. Real time monitoring of water quality parameters along with deploying modules for corrective action on mixing the right amount of nutrients, recycling wastewater while maintaining desired water quality parameters optimal for aquaculture is the focus of the current invention. The system of the invention is cost effective with limited assembly of sensors that help in predicting a wide range of water quality parameters with the help of Artificial Intelligence module. Use of automation and artificial intelligence aspects of the invention requires minimal human intervention and enables accurate action in a timely manner for recycling wastewater and dispensing nutrients.

a water recycling module wherein the water recycling module comprises a control module, at least one screening tank and a mixing tank;
a communication gateway, wherein the communication gateway is a wireless communication hub which is configured to communicably connect with the control modules of the system ;
Determining a plurality of physical parameters of the water body through activation of a plurality of sensors in the sensor module;
analyzing the readings from the plurality of sensors in a cloud computing module enabled by the wireless communication hub;
providing suitable data as inputs to the Artificial Intelligence module in the sensor module for training data;
providing the output of the Artificial Intelligence module as command input to the the water recycling module;
activating the suction pump of the mopping module for collecting wastewater at the sediment;
Screening the waste from the wastewater and retaining the waste by first and/or second screening tank;
Activating aeration and mixing of nutrients, drugs or probiotics in the mixing and aeration tank by creating a vortex;
navigating the sensor module to suitable locations on the water body based on the inputs from Artificial Intelligence module for start mopping;
analyzing the change in the physical parameters of the water body at the location and deactivating the mopping and recycling module.
