Hydroponics and a closed-loop water system – lettuce on a wall

Hydroponics and a closed-loop water system
Hydroponics is a method of growing plants without soil, using nutrient containing mineral salt solutions. Hydroponic crops can be grown not only on an industrial scale, but also in home gardens, increasing self-sufficiency of cities when it comes to food production. However, relatively large water consumption and cleaning the used nutrient are disadvantages of this solution. The objective of the research conducted by researchers form the Faculty of Civil and Environmental Engineering is to close water circulation in hydroponic lettuce cultivation by cleaning the leachate in the green wall system.
