Global Water Resources, Inc. 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. They seek to deploy their integrated approach, which they refer to as “Total Water Management,” a term they use 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. They use Total Water Management to promote sustainable communities in areas where they expect growth to outpace the existing potable water supply. Their model focuses on the broad issues of water supply and scarcity and applies principles of water conservation through water reclamation and reuse. Their 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.
