Nyamgim Gung (Gidarjil looking at Water Lab)

Gidarjil water quality laboratory will be aiming to start business in testing marine water but not limited to fresh water, water used by farmers and businesses.

Water quality lab in QLD is limited. And the level of high-profile equipment we are working with are very rare in Australia. It is obvious that Gidarjil water quality lab will be one of kind and state of art water quality lab with global accreditations, which will allow our reports to be accepted all over the world and to all stages of governance.
