The water crisis is one of the main problems that human beings face nowadays, being one of
the most reported issues internationally. Thus, making it necessary to search for alternatives
aimed at sustainable agriculture, hydroponics, a soilless cultivation technique, seeks a way to
mitigate the problems of water scarcity in agriculture, and can be implemented in places with
little availability of water resources and thanks to its low cost, it can be mounted on small
properties and/or residences. Given the above, the main objective of this work is to analyze
and explain, based on bibliographic reviews, issues and factors related to the rational use of
water in low-cost hydroponics as an instrument of awareness and environmental preservation.
For this, a micro-scale, experimentation of a homemade hydroponic system for the cultivation
of coriander was carried out. With the studies, we concluded that the cultivation by the
hydroponic system proved to be viable, profitable and mainly contributed to environmental
conservation in terms of saving water and not using pesticides.
