Aquaponic systen

3. Research problem:

Owners of aquaponics face some difficulties like high price of electricity because of using electrical pump, variation in the PH of the water

4. Aim: (the main goal, solution to the problem)

To Improve the working principle of the system and to make it environment and user friendly

5. Objectives (steps to be conducted to achieve the aim):

a) To research about aquaponic system

b) To study the working of sensors and programming

c) Hardware implementation

d) test and analyses the performance of the system

6. Description of the Technical Project idea, research problem, proposed solution and methodology (limited to 100 words)

he most simple definition of Aquaponics is the combination of aquaculture (raising fish) and hydroponics (the soil-less growing of plants) that grows fish and plants together in one integrated system. The fish waste provides an organic food source for the plants, and the plants naturally filter the water for the fish.

the third participants are microbes (nitrifying bacteria). These bacteria convert ammonia from the fish waste first into nitrites, and then into nitrates. Nitrates are the form of nitrogen that plants can uptake and use to grow. Solid fish waste is turned into vermicompost that also acts as food for the plants.

In combining both hydroponic and aquaculture systems, aquaponics capitalizes on their benefits, and eliminates the drawbacks of each.

Owners of aquaponics face some difficulties like high price of electricity because of using electrical pump, variation in the PH of the water

7. Innovation( What is new in the selected topic)

Replace electrical power supply with solar power

Set alarm in the pump

Set sensors to measure ph of the water and if the ph increase or decrease it sends a message
