South Africa has a water shortage and we need to combine all technologies with the new technologies and invent better ways to do things such as water and sanitation. We need our youth to embrace new technologies like aquaponics that was mentioned by the President in the state of the nation address. The aquaponics process is one that combines fishing plants in a close system to produce the same amount of food within a smaller area and with 90% less water than conventional farming. The aquaponics system can be established in the inner city because soil is not required in an aquaponics system.
