Reuse of drainage water in hydroponic crops

In soilless crops, part of the water and nutrients applied is not absorbed by the plants and is lost in the form of drainage. Reusing drainage allows this resource to be recovered, treated, and reincorporated into the irrigation system, optimizing the use of water and fertilizers.

This technique not only maximizes water use efficiency, but also prevents aquifer contamination, improves profitability, and ensures a constant supply of nutrients to crops. At AZUD, we develop solutions that allow drainage to be recovered and treated safely and effectively, promoting more sustainable agriculture.
