Hydroponics with wastewater: a review of trends and opportunities Author: Liliana Cifuentes-Torres, Leopoldo G. Mendoza-Espinosa , Gabriel Correa-Reyes & Luis Walter Daesslé Year Published: 2020 Citation: Cifuentes‐Torres, Liliana, Leopoldo G.

This article focuses on the integration of growing plants hydroponically with the association of aquaculture. The discussion rotates around the benefits of using fish effluent water as a mineral for hydroponic irrigation water. The effluent from the fish tank is rich with nutrients; therefore, it is used to fertigate hydroponic production beds. Hydroponic and aquaponic creates an indefinite cycle in which the growing plants demand the nutrient-rich effluent from the fish tank, and the fish tanks necessitate the plant roots and rhizobacteria to absorb the nutrients from the water; nutrients generated from fish formed to build-up contaminants that would otherwise create toxic levels in fish tanks. The hydroponic growers view fish effluent as an organic fertilizer source that enables plants to arise well. Also, Fish farmers view hydroponics as a filtration method to aid fast recirculating aquaculture. The water quality characteristics of the raised fishes are crucial. The water features should include dissolved oxygen, carbon dioxide, ammonia, nitrate, nitrite, pH, chlorine, and other characteristics, and it is essential to monitor the water quality constantly. The article is relevant to the proposal because of the essential information about collaborating hydroponics with aquaponics. Minerals are one of the initial elements for hydroponics after the water. However, processed nutrients can rebirth the plants or wither them due to unbalanced formula, wrong fertilizer, etc. Although nutrients are so sensitive to the hydroponic system, providing a nurture nutrient source such as extracting the minerals from fish effluent water tanks will sufficiently help operate the hydroponic system and prevent any issues that can happen because of minerals.

LITRETURE REVIEW 3 IoT based hydroponics system using Deep Neural Networks Author: Manav Mehra, Sameer Saxena, Suresh Sankaranarayanan, Rijo Jackson Tom M.Veeramanikandan Year Published: 2018 Citation: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.compag.2018.10.015 The article focuses on technology involvement in hydroponics. The IoT refers back to the Internet and storing data in the cloud. IoT can be an essential part of the hydroponic system due to its aid in automating the hydroponics culture. The hydroponic system required a daily monitoring system that reads the water level, pH, temperature, flow, and light intensity, which can be done using IoT. Machine learning is a minor in Artificial Intelligence (AI) that assists in providing computers the capability to perform actions independently after being trained for a particular task. Machine learning has various obligations in hydroponics to control the plant growth, optimization of Electrical Conductivity (EC) values of the Nutrient Solution.
This article talks about recycling wastewater and utilizing it as a water source for a hydroponic garden. The goal behind reusing the wastewater is to protect the environment. Reclaimed water (RW) is a viable source for product irrigation because it is constant and unaffected by climate variability and droughts. The cons of RW are the presence of pathogens like bacteria, viruses, protozoa, and helminths. The article states the conflicts in views regarding the pros and cons of the hydroponic system with wastewater. The article states several studies about the pros and cons of adopting the wastewater in the hydroponic system. If these studies are adequately addressed, then the wastewater can be used in the hydroponic system, which will lift a hefty portion of government responsibility. Finding other alternatives sources of water to be used for planting will help reduce the reliance on government processing water.
CONCLUSION The articles and books analyzed cover enough detail on the methods adopted to improve the cultivation products. The selected literature states the ability to combine growing plants hydroponically, and aquaculture, the combination of these two cultures will build an aesthetic and functional environment for crops to grow. The “Hydroponics with wastewater” article states that the wastewater can be used to irrigate plants; recycling the wastewater and utilizing it for irrigation will reduce the reliance on government processing water. Also, Technology plays a huge role in controlling the climate; therefore, sensors will be adopted to adjust a proper environment set for a plant to grow.
The article is relevant to the proposal because a hydroponic system requires daily and consistent monitoring of temperature, PH, and light intensity. Applying AI in the hydroponic domain will simplify the process of monitoring, which will aid in growing the crops healthily and consistently. The existence of AI will help in preventing all the disadvantages of processed nutrients or natural nutrients.
