Introduction
 Using recycling of water, this system is a combination of hydroponics and
fish farming.
 It is a type of Organic farming as it uses fish waste instead of chemical
fertilizers.
 This project is implemented using IoT techniques for underwater organic
life nourishing.
 This system is based on Arduino Mega and multiple environment sensors
to gather and transmit data over network.
 The detected data is transmitted over network to the user.

Problem Statement

 Food scarcity will become a major issue with the growth of human
population.
 Soil fertility is becoming low.
 Because of cutting down trees and rising buildings.
 Due to environmental pollution, soil fertility falls.
 Due to excess of ammonia in water from factories, aquatic life is
unbalanced.

Department of Information Technlogy

Goals and Objectives

 This project is for the monitoring of pH of water through mobile device.

 Monitoring of weather conditions that might affect plant growth.
 Reduction of land use for farming.
 Developing environment friendly system for cultivation.

 Automatic food supply for fish reducing contamination of water.

Project Scope

 Target audience in Pakistan as well as international level such as

India, Bangladesh, and Iran etc.
 Fulfill our food security needs in our country.

Process Model

For this project, we will use the Scrum

model, which is a category of agile
methodology.
 The ability to manage tasks in an
organized way.
 the planning necessary to reach them
makes it a crucial tool to save time
and money.

Department of Information Technlogy

Proposed Solution

 We have designed this system to reuse and recycle our resources in

Asian countries.
 IoT based modules and microcontrollers will enable us to ensure data
organization and processing.
 Blynk is the best choice for this.
 Arduino IDE is an open-source software to program all the
microcontroller-based modules connected.
