The [[WaterPod]] was created to demonstrate a new possible way of future living through water based communities. These communities would be self sustaining and nomadic; allowing for growing populations to thrive in a highly innovative and more sustainable manner. As a way of inspiring innovation, the WaterPod contacted our team, Green Apple, about designing and building a simple hydroponics system that would be utilized on the pod for the six period of their demonstration.

Abstract
The WaterPod was created to demonstrate a new possible way of future living through water based communities. These communities would be self sustaining and nomadic; allowing for growing populations to thrive in a highly innovative and more sustainable manner. As a way of inspiring innovation, the WaterPod contacted our team, Green Apple, about designing and building a simple hydroponics system that would be utilized on the pod for the six period of their demonstration. What resulted was the Hang Thyme, a hydroponic living wall that doesn’t require electrical energy. The Hang Thyme is design is easy to build, implement, and maintain.
