Water, chemical formula H2O, is a common chemical substance that is essential to all known forms of life. In typical usage, water refers only to its liquid form or state, but the substance also has a solid state; ice, and a gaseous state; water vapor or steam. Its chemical make-up is a covalent bond of two hydrogen atoms and a single oxygen. The covalent bond is strong, but the energy released from breaking this bond is low and hard to capture. It is a polar molecule, forming weak hydrogen bonds between the positive hydrogen ends and the negative oxygen end. Due to its polar characteristics, water cannot mix with oil or other non-polar substances.
The Global Water Campaign and its GWC Trans-African Pipelines were designed to transport the still relatively clean melt water from Mount Kilimanjaro across the entire African continent. Multiple facilities of the GWC, including A2 Hydroelectric Facility and Voi Municipal Water Pump House 03, were sites of combat during the Battle of Earth.[1]
