Global Water Campaign
From Halopedia, the Halo wiki
The Global Water Campaign, or the GWC, is a human government initiative responsible for the management of water.[1]
History[edit]
The Global Water Campaign was established in the late 25th century as a part of the East African Protectorate's renationalisation efforts on Earth, with one of its goals to construct new water purification facilities. Near the slopes of Mount Kilimanjaro, Tanzania, the GWC constructed the A2 Hydroelectric Facility that dammed meltwater from one of the mountain's rivers and transported it northwest to the Mount Kilimanjaro Water Plant. Once the home of the GWC, the facility filtered and further transported water across Africa via pipelines, including the town of Voi, Kenya.[1][2][3]
By the mid-26th century, the Mount Kilimanjaro Water Plant was decommissioned and acquired by the UNSC, but the GWC still operated the A2 Hydroelectric Facility[4] and distributed water to places such as New Mombasa.[5]
The GWC's blue water barrels weren't restricted to Earth, as they were also found in the rural region of Visegrád on Reach.[6]
Production notes[edit]
- The Halo 3 multiplayer map Ghost Town is located in the Mount Kilimanjaro Water Plant. It once connected to the pipes seen throughout the campaign mission Tsavo Highway.[2]
- GWC-branded water barrels can be found in Halo 3: ODST, such as the campaign mission NMPD HQ and its Firefight map Windward,[5][7] and even the campaign mission Winter Contingency in Halo: Reach[6]
