Water Resource Registration System Using GPS Coordinates
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing systems lack an efficient method for registering and managing in-ground water resources, including well pumps, water taps, and bodies of water, which hinders accurate identification, access control, and usage tracking.
Innovation Solution
A method utilizing electronic devices to register water resources by associating owner information with their coordinates, displaying them on electronic maps, and providing access instructions, usage tracking, and reporting features through online databases and communication modules.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If water resources are registered and managed using traditional manual methods, then implementation is simple, but identification accuracy and management efficiency are poor
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces manual registration and tracking methods with electronic devices, GPS coordinates, and digital databases. Water resources are registered using electronic devices that capture precise location data via GPS, store owner information in online databases, and provide digital access instructions, eliminating the need for manual record-keeping and significantly improving identification accuracy.
2Reliability
If electronic registration systems are implemented, then identification accuracy improves, but access control and usage tracking become more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates a multi-functional system where a single electronic registration platform handles multiple tasks: storing water resource location data, managing owner information, controlling access through authenticated devices, tracking water usage via timers, and generating reports. This universal system improves access control reliability while consolidating management functions rather than increasing complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements feedback mechanisms where usage data from water resources is automatically captured by electronic devices, stored in databases, and used to generate reports sent back to owners or authorities. This closed-loop feedback enables reliable access control and usage tracking by continuously monitoring and reporting on system state.
3Productivity
If manual water usage tracking is used, then system simplicity is maintained, but accountability and usage monitoring are insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements self-service tracking where electronic devices automatically record water usage data without requiring manual intervention. Timers and sensors on water resources autonomously capture usage information, store it in databases, and generate reports, enabling efficient productivity monitoring while eliminating the time loss associated with manual tracking and reconciliation.
Data Source
AI summary
A method of registering and locating a water resource includes incentivizing an owner for registering the water resource and associating owner contact information and coordinate location data of the water resource to the water resource. An online database stores the coordinate location data of the water resource, the owner of the water resource, and the owner contact information received from the first electronic device. A second electronic device displays on an electronic map the coordinate location data of the water resource within an area of the electronic map. The user of the second electronic device is informed, after selection of the water resource, the name of the owner of the water resource, the owner contact information of the water resource, the coordinate location data of the water resource, and an account of the owner is credited if the water resource is used.
