Advantages of Aquaponics • Reduced Water Utilization - Abundant high-quality water is usually the single most crucial resource for agriculture and aquaculture enterprises. • Aquaponics only use 1% to 3% of the water needed for traditional land based agriculture. (water loss due to evaporation and transpiration by the plants) • Traditional Aquaculture recirculating systems discharge 5 to 10% of their water daily to maintain water quality. (Reduced water heating cost in heated greenhouses) • Today agriculture utilizes 70% of the freshwater available in the world, and future population growth will continue to stress water availability.
