PHOENIX, April 10, 2012 /CNW/ - GWR Global Water Resources Corp. (TSX:
GWR) and Global Water Resources, Inc. ("Global Water") today announced
that Global Water President and CEO Trevor Hill will be presenting at
the Smart Water Systems forum in London, UK, at the Copthorne Tara
Hotel on April 16-17, 2012. Along with industry and thought leaders
from the sector, Mr. Hill will be speaking on "Bringing The Consumer
Into The Smart Grid For Water - Strategies For Engaging The Consumer In
Conservation".
"It is imperative that we recognize the smart grid for water is not just
about meters and end-points," said Mr. Hill. "It's about engaging the
consumer in managing their own consumption and providing them access to
the tools necessary to modify their behavior in light of dwindling
supplies. The timing of this event is fitting, considering the current
and projected drought conditions in the United Kingdom today, and
demonstrates the international applicability of systems like FATHOM™.
This event continues Global Water FATHOM™'s leadership role in
modernizing data systems, optimizing water use, and providing the data
to customers."
