GAO Case Studies

U.S. – Phoenix Water Treatment Optimization

ICity Tek deployed a network of IoT-connected water sensors in Phoenix’s central treatment facility. Our system identified pH fluctuations and turbidity inconsistencies early, reducing chemical use by 15% and improving compliance with EPA discharge limits.

U.S. – Miami Beach Coastal Monitoring Initiative

Facing rising concerns over ocean pollution and harmful algal blooms, Miami Beach used ICity Tek sensors to monitor nutrient levels and contaminants in nearshore waters. The real-time data enabled faster response to environmental events, protecting marine ecosystems and public beaches.

Canada – Calgary’s Smart River Monitoring Program

Calgary partnered with ICity Tek to implement a smart river monitoring network in the Bow River. Equipped with solar-powered sensors and cloud analytics, the system now delivers continuous turbidity, temperature, and dissolved oxygen data to environmental officials and researchers.
