“I honestly thought the course was great. Anyone thinking of joining the irrigation game that is a part of Think Water should attend. The Irrigation Hydraulics unit and presenter were great, and I can personally relate a lot of the formulas and workings to jobs that I am involved with. It was great learning about costings for business, store layouts and general knowledge regarding customers and their demands. On the whole, I highly recommend this course to anyone pursuing their carrier in irrigation.” David Ellis – Think Water Dubbo
