The '''Global Water Campaign''', or '''GWC''', is a [[human]] | [[File:Halo-3-legendary-map-pack--20080408000250090.jpg|thumb|200px|GWC water barrels.]] | ||
The '''Global Water Campaign''', or '''GWC''', is a [[human]] company specializing in purifying and distributing [[Dihydrogen Oxide|water]].<ref name="bnet">http://www.bungie.net/News/content.aspx?type=topnews&cid=13287</ref> | |||
The | The company originated in the 24<sup>th</sup> Century in the [[East African Protectorate]], where it purified and transported melt water from [[Mount Kilimanjaro]]. Most notably, the company operates the [[GWC Trans-African Pipelines]] that carry the still relatively clean melt water for distribution across the entire continent.<ref name="bnet"/> In addition to Earth, GWC was based on other UNSC colonies, including the agricultural regions of [[Reach]].<ref>'''[[Halo: Reach Multiplayer Beta]]''', level, {{Levelname|Overlook}}''</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> | |||
