Desarrollo de un sistema hidropónico automatizado para zonas urbanas

Abstract

The fundamental purpose of this project is to develop an automated irrigation system designed to optimize hydroponic crops. It specifically aims to assess its viability for implementation in urban environments, benefiting from its compact design and vertically arranged cultivation structure, which allows for highly efficient utilization of available space for plant production.

This system is characterized by its recirculation capability, ensuring controlled delivery of water and nutrients directly to the plants. Additionally, it integrates a network of sensors designed to constantly monitor environmental conditions, particularly humidity and temperature within the cultivation area.

In order to evaluate the effectiveness and benefits provided by this system, an analysis was conducted. One of the central aspects of this evaluation focused on comparing water consumption against traditional cultivation methods. The obtained results were conclusive in indicating that, due to the implementation of fluid recirculation, water losses were minimal compared to conventional cultivation systems.
