Sustainable Pumping for Irrigation - Ballina


  • Ballina RSL 1 Grant Street Ballina, NSW, 2478 Australia (map)

2 Day Course

Written & presented by Rob Welke

Best money I’ve ever spent! I wish I would have met Rob 25 yrs ago. Having the software that Rob has created for us will greatly benefit our business. I’m excited to be able to show the producer how much money we can save them over say a 25 yr period life span. My next project sale will surely pay for the course.

What to Bring

To make the most of this training, please bring the following:

  • Fully Charged Mobile Phone: As we'll be downloading nine helpful app calculators via QR codes displayed throughout the two-day workshop, please ensure your phone is fully charged and able to scan QR codes (usually through your camera app).

  • Optional Note-Taking Materials: While you're welcome to bring a notepad and pen, we've found that focusing on the screen and engaging with the material is more beneficial than taking extensive notes.

  • Digital Notes Provided: Comprehensive PDF notes covering everything presented on screen will be emailed to you after the course, along with a link to download them from Dropbox. Please download these files promptly, as they will be available for two weeks following the course.

  • Your Questions: We encourage active participation and discussion, so please come prepared with any questions you have about water and wastewater systems.

Great stuff Robert Welke! You are very experienced and a great teacher. In addition, a fantastic course, the software you provided us gets to the point and it is user friendly. I certainly feel more empowered for sustainability.
