This document describes a smart aquaponics farm project that uses IoT techniques. The project uses a combination of hydroponics and fish farming to monitor the environment and transmit data over a network. It aims to address issues with food scarcity and pollution by developing a sustainable system for organic cultivation that reduces land and water usage. The system will use sensors, Arduino, and Blynk to monitor conditions and control the farm.

2. 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.

3. 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.
