Water quality monitoring system for aquaponics and fishpond using Wireless Sensor Network

The higher the human population, the higher the demand for food supply from the agriculture sector. However, healthy and environment-friendly plant-based food production is very time-consuming. Water quality checking by the human resource is no longer efficient in the presence of technology today. T...
