Jal Prahari

Autonomous vessels that measure the river as it actually flows.

A solar-hybrid surface vessel for Indian rivers. It dips a multi-parameter cage below the surface film for valid chemistry, and profiles current with ADCP — acoustic beams through the water column. Those streams bind to the hydro-ontology so flood routing, discharge, and quality forecast stay honest.

Why ADCP belongs on the vessel

Stage gauges tell you height. Satellites tell you extent. ADCP tells you how the water is moving — velocity through the column. From that, the twin gets discharge and how fast a flood wave will travel. Without it, hydrology models are guessing. Jal Prahari takes the instrument to the reach that matters, on a schedule the twin can ingest continuously.

What the platform carries

ADCP current profiles

Acoustic Doppler beams sample velocity through the water column — the missing observation for discharge, flood routing, and model calibration.

Sub-surface quality

An active-dipping cage reads pH, dissolved oxygen, turbidity, conductivity, temperature, and related parameters beneath the surface film.

Persistent presence

Solar-electric primary power with battery reserve for multi-day autonomous missions along a reach or around an outfall.

River-rated hull

Twin-hull catamaran, field-run on the Godavari and the Ganga, including monsoon-active conditions.

Onboard inference

Edge compute for navigation, debris awareness, and annotated video that travels with the telemetry.

Twin-native telemetry

Time-stamped, geo-aligned streams that bind to ontology entities — a reach, a cell, a city drain — rather than sitting in a silo.
