Hydroponics is very simple and yet, not costly making it an ideal choice for plants. It basically uses a drain system of which it reuses water. While the water is flowing through the plants, it simply brings it back through a pump allowing plants to get a constant flow of water than the traditional soil and water.

Quote: "As we are coming to realize that water is our most precious resource the first point worth noting is that hydroponics uses 70 to 90 percent LESS water than conventional gardening."
Hydroponics uses 70-90 percent less water than a traditional garden, saving more water at the end of the day. They can be used either indoors or outdoors. When indoors, you can control the weather for it and change the production rate of the plants.
