“It’s been invaluable to work with some experts in the field.”
“We've been working with Eliot Sinclair to get a GIS platform. That involves mapping all the scheme farms, approximately 25,000 hectares of irrigated ground to get all the real detail of land use; of effluent areas, irrigated areas, all the point source data, so we can manage our environmental impact effectively. It's been invaluable to work with some experts in that field and the personnel within Eliot Sinclair have been capable and responsive, which has made our job a lot easier.”
