Global Water Resources is a water resource management company that owns, operates, and manages water, wastewater, and recycled water utilities in strategically located communities, principally in metropolitan Phoenix, Arizona. The Company seeks to deploy its integrated approach, which it refer to as "Total Water Management," a term used to mean managing the entire water cycle by owning and operating the water, wastewater, and recycled water utilities within the same geographic areas in order to both conserve water and maximize its total economic and social value. GWR uses Total Water Management to promote sustainable communities in areas where it expects growth to outpace the existing potable water supply. The Company's model focuses on the broad issues of water supply and scarcity and applies principles of water conservation through water reclamation and reuse. GWR's basic premise is that the world's water supply is limited and yet can be stretched significantly through effective planning, the use of recycled water, and by providing individuals and communities resources that promote wise water usage practices.
