Tanmay Bhatt working with Dr. Sachin Chaudhari presented a research paper on IoT-Based Multimodal Borewell Monitoring at the International Conference on Environment Pollution and Prevention (ICEPP 2025), held in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam from 6 to 8 November.

This research work focuses on developing a low-cost and reliable IoT-based system for monitoring groundwater in borewells. The goal is to enable more informed, data-driven policymaking for sustainable water resource management.

Summary of the paper as explained by the author: Excessive groundwater extraction has led to a significant decline in water tables, highlighting the need for continuous monitoring. This study presents an Internet of Things (IoT)-based approach for real-time estimation of groundwater levels in borewells. In addition to water level measurements, parameters such as motor current and rainfall are tracked to evaluate their influence on groundwater dynamics. To assess practical feasibility, five monitoring nodes were deployed across a small educational campus in Hyderabad, India. Data collected over a two-month period indicate that the proposed low-cost system is both reliable and effective in real-world conditions, while also revealing interesting correlations between groundwater level variations and the monitored parameters.
