Experimental investigation on scaling and automation of aquaponics system
There has been a rising trend in gardening as a recreational activity in Singapore. However, most Singaporeans do not own a garden as they live in flats and they are sometimes too busy to constantly take care of their plants. Aquaponics is deemed as the new eco-friendly method that can be utilise...

| description | There has been a rising trend in gardening as a recreational activity in Singapore. However, most Singaporeans do not own a garden as they live in flats and they are sometimes too busy to constantly take care of their plants.
Aquaponics is deemed as the new eco-friendly method that can be utilised to grow crops large scale without the need for soil. This experiment is therefore an investigation on the automation and scalability of an aquaponics system to commercial size that can fit flat apartment and the busy lifestyle of Singaporeans. |
