GWC water barrels.

The Global Water Campaign, or GWC, was a 24^th Century company based in the East African Protectorate specializing in purifying and transporting melt 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.^[1]

It is unknown what happened to the company but by the 26^th 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.^[2]

Known Facilities

Water Purification Plant - Located in the jungles near Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania, this complex was once home to the Global Water Campaign. By the 26^th Century, this complex has been abandoned long ago and fallen into disrepair, overgrown with the African jungle.
A2 Hydroelectric Facility - Located along the Nkuu River near the main complex, the hydroelectric facility seems to be active by 2552. The hydroelectric facility was briefly occupied by the Covenant during the Battle of Earth in late 2552 as they searched for SPARTAN-117, eventually routed by the Spartan and scattered Marine ground forces and a gunship.^[3]
GWC Trans-African Pipelines - Located along the Tsavo Highway, the pipes distribute water across the entire continent.
Voi Municipal Water Pump House 03 - One of the many pump houses along the pipelines, supplying water to the industrial town of Voi in Kenya.
