Abstract
1. Introduction
1.1 Engineering
Problem
As
the world population increases exponentially, more space is used for
residential as well as for the means of production. As agriculture and aquaculture
takes up a lot of space, it becomes a constraint for the urban living, and
thus, located far away from the urban centers. The agriculture and aquaculture
production becomes more expensive as the produce requires heavy transport and
preservation infrastructure to delivery them into the urban areas where most of
the consumers are. This project aims to solve this problem on a small scale.
1.2 Engineering
Goal
To develop a system for the production of
fish meat and vegetables in an urban setting.
1.3 Specific Requirements
Our design must meet the following requirements:
o
Must be in urban areas
o
Lack of direct sunlight due to dense
built up in urban areas
o
Must be space saving
o
Must be time saving
o
Must be cost saving
1.4 Alternative solutions
1.4.1 Aero-ponics
1.4.2 Hydro-ponics
1.4.3 Aquaculture
1.4.4 Final Solution
Our final solution is
the Aqua-ponics system. We choose this solution because …
