The '''Global Water Campaign''', or '''GWC''', is a [[human]] government initiative specializing in purifying and distributing [[water]].<ref>[https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/universe/locations/earth '''Halo Waypoint''': ''Earth'']</ref>

The '''Global Water Campaign''', or '''GWC''', was a 24<sup>th</sup> Century company based in the [[East African Protectorate]], as well as the agricultural regions of [[Reach]] <ref>''[[Halo: Reach Multiplayer Beta]], level, [[Overlook]]''</ref> specializing in purifying and transporting melt [[Dihydrogen Oxide|water]] from [[Mount Kilimanjaro]]. Most notably, the company operated the [[GWC Trans-African Pipelines]] that carried the still relatively clean melt water for distribution across the entire continent.<ref name="bnet">http://www.bungie.net/News/content.aspx?type=topnews&cid=13287</ref>


The initiative originated in the 24th Century in the [[East African Protectorate]], where it purified and transported melt water from [[Mount Kilimanjaro]]. Most notably, the initiative operates the [[GWC Trans-African Pipelines]] that carry the still relatively clean melt water for distribution across the entire continent.<ref name="bnet">[http://halo.bungie.net/News/content.aspx?type=topnews&cid=13287 '''Bungie.net''': ''Ghost Town Revealed'']</ref> In addition to Earth, GWC was based on other UNSC colonies, including the agricultural regions of [[Reach]].<ref name="wc">'''Halo: Reach''', campaign level ''[[Winter Contingency]]''</ref>
It is unknown what happened to the company but by the 26<sup>th</sup> Century, but the main water purification facility has fallen into disrepair, while other facilities seem to be more or less active. It is possible that the activity of the GWC continued elsewhere, as evidenced by still relatively new water barrels with "GWC" printed on them during [[2552]] and the operational status of some of the facilities.<ref>''[[Halo 3: ODST]] level [[NMPD HQ (Level)|NMPD HQ]]''</ref>


By the 26th century, the main water purification facility in Africa had fallen into disrepair, while other facilities still continued to be more or less active. It is apparent that the activity of the GWC continued elsewhere, as evidenced by the operational status of some of the initiative's facilities, and the fact that relatively new water barrels with "GWC" printed on them were still commonplace during [[2552]].{{Ref/Reuse|wc}}<ref>'''Halo 3: ODST''', campaign level ''[[NMPD HQ]]''</ref>
