Testimonials

“We always include Aqualibrium in all our hydraulic modeling courses, and it has consistently proven to be an exceptional resource. Our students are enthused and motivated to apply their newfound knowledge by actively running and testing their own designs on Aqualibrium. I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone who shares a deep passion for this field!”
Dr Werner de Schaetzen, P.Eng., President and CEO, GeoAdvice Engineering, Vancouver, Canada

“We set up Aqualibrium at the Cook Islands Science Expo in 2022 which was attended by school students in Rarotonga along with teachers and community members. Aqualibrium inspired and engaged everyone young and old – with much head scratching, imagination and competitive spirit to work out ‘ideal’ pipe networks, to stimulate deeper conversations about water equity in the Pacific. It is very simple to set up and use, yet a very powerful tool for teaching, learning and raising awareness about the principles of water distribution.”
Dr. Sandeeka Mannakkara, Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, University of Auckland.
