IOSight provided its iGreen data management system which will be supplemented by the iShed predictive analytics module in order to analyze various factors that influence water quality and derive insights based on both historical and real time water quality data in the Chicago River.
H2NOW Chicago, a Current–led initiative and first-of-its-kind pilot project in the US, is breaking new ground by monitoring Chicago River microbial pollution levels in real time.
The pilot program is designed to specifically measure fecal coliforms, bacteria that originate from warm-blooded animal feces and can spread in waterways from large events (like sewage overflows) or less conspicuous point sources (such as surface runoff that picks up animal feces left on the ground).
The program involves various public and private partners.
