Hydroponics

Hydroponics

1. The team was divided into small work teams

   • For electrical part
   • For final presentation
   • For mechanical part
   • For control part

2. The main function of this was to circulate the water with substrate through the conduits and the plants to collect these nutrients

3. The role of hydroponics is to avoid using soil and to be able to install a system in confined places

   • If the electrical power goes out the system stops working
   • The bad thing is that, if they lack water, they dry out
   • If the plants are planted in soil, the care is more difficult

4. We use as system components:

   • Ducts
   • Substrates
   • Water pumps
   • Sensors

5. This project was developed in teams for a better final result

6. Hydroponics is a production system in which the roots of the plants are not established in the soil, but in a substrate or in the same nutrient solution used.

   • The first formal works on this production system began around the year 1600.
   • In Mexico, the origins of hydroponics are the floating gardens of the Aztecas, called chinampas.
