CONTROL AND MONITORING WATER IN AQUAPONICS USING IOT

Abstract: Modern aquaponics systems can be highly successful, but they require intensive monitoring, control, and management. IoT-enabled aquaponics systems on the other hand can provide the opportunity to improve the quality of the produce grown with minimal effort and automation of processes. The systems use Internet of things (IoT) technology to configure and deploy smart water-quality sensors that provide remote, continuous, and real-time information of related to water quality, on a graphical user interface (GUI). Continuous monitoring of this data, and making necessary adjustments, will facilitate the maintenance of a healthy ecosystem that is conductive to the growth of fish and plants, while utilizing about 90 percent less water than traditional farming. As using this technique water is reused, it requires less space, user gets natural food. Aquaponics can be automatically managed and controlled by making use of IOT technology with the help of sensors like pH, temperature and humidity, dissolved solvents, water level sensors.
