Aquaponic System
Spring 2017
Collaborating alongside Westen Johnson and Wynn Geary, we looked into the benefits of integrating a closed-looped system within farming. Our top priorities were finding a way to reuse the water, plus minimizing the total footprint of the system.
-
A closed system which drastically saves water
-
Plants can grow 2 to 3 times faster than conventional growing techniques
-
Once set up with proper chemical levels, the system will maintain itself with few adjustments
-
Uses less space to grow the same crop yield, in comparison to traditional farming

Aquaponic system is was featured inside of the main Rhode Island School of Design cafeteria, to educate students on systems and greener farming alternatives.
