<span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif";color:#333333">With thoughtful design, appropriate maintenance, and effective management airlift pumps may allow us to transfer water through an aquaponics system in a more efficient way compare
to that of water pumps. Understanding the disadvantages and learning how easy it is to construct an airlift pump can help many to reduce their energy expenses while avoiding the risk and maintenance resulted from having electrical pumps in the water.<br>
<br>
This will be a 1 hour presentation on aquaponics with a question and answer session.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
