Abstract

With exponential increases in population, the need for water has equally gone up. Water resources are rapidly drying up, whether it is used for drinking or agricultural and industrial purposes. The main aim is to study aquaponics systems that would efficiently use water and analyze methods of monitoring and controlling the parameters concerning water quality. This paper focuses on the study and analysis of different techniques to enhance aquaponics systems’ efficiency through IoT-supported automation techniques. AVR microcontroller is interfaced with aquaponics systems through IoT to obtain readings to monitor the system parameters remotely. With this automation process, it can be more convenient to maintain an environment optimal for both the plants and fish. The results reveal methods used to balance the water quality conditions and how automation increases system efficiency.
