Global Water Campaign

La Global Water Campaign (campagne globale pour l'eau), abrégé GWC, est une initiative gouvernementale de l'East African Protectorate visant à améliorer le système de traitement et de distribution de l'eau en Afrique.

Historique

La GWC a été fondée à la fin du XXIV^e siècle par l'East African Protectorate pour superviser la construction d'installation d'épuration dans le cadre de sa campagne de renationalisation. Les eaux issues de la fonte des glaces du mont Kilimandjaro étaient transportées par pipeline vers le petit avant-poste Mount Kilimanjaro Water Plant où elle était purifiée avant d'être distribuée sur tout le continent africain via les GWC Trans-African Facilities.^[1] Au début du XXVI^e siècle, le Mount Kilimanjaro Water Plant fut déclassé et récupéré par l'UNSC pour mener des exercices militaires d'infiltration/exfiltration et la numériser pour en faire la carte de jeux de guerre Ville fantôme.^[2]

On trouve toujours en 2552 des installations de la GWC en ruine aux alentours du mont Kilimandjaro, ainsi que des barils estampillés GWC dans la région^[3] ainsi que dans les régions agricoles de Reach.^[4]

<toggledisplay showtext="[Voir le texte d’origine]" hidetext="[Masquer]"> Hello, my name is Go Vader and this is the Cobra News Network. Today we will take a look into the history of the Global Water Campaign, an African initiative to supply water for the many nations of Africa. We will explore the rise and fall of this life saving idea.

Origins
The GWC was started by Robert Kombiki, a Kenyan industrialist who had visions of providing water for the millions of citizens of Kenya and beyond. He started his goal in March 24, 2325 with a grant from the UNSC to create a purification plant and and military base on and near Mt. Kilimanjaro. The base and plant were completed on July 14, 2326 just in time for the snow on the moutain to rush down to the base of the montain. Three months later water productivity rose in Africa by 50%. Many countries were aided in the many droughts that plauged Africa. The base on the mountain also provided jobs for many near Mt. Kilimanjaro. Robert was awarded the Star of Life, a new award created by the UNSC to give to individuals who make life easier for humanity.

Downturn
As much good as the GWC did for Africa, it still had problems. in 2331, Kombiki suffered a scandal regarding a maintance worker at the hydroelectric dam. The worker was named Mala Mondabi and he was killed after he was electrocuted by exposed wires near the dams base. The wires were in a puddle of water and Mala steeped in the puddle. The family of Mondabi sued the GWC for negligence. They were awarded close to $1,000,000. The scandal was emotionally draining on Robert, who slipped away after the trial. A year later he was found dead in his mansion from a heart attack. To replace Robert, the higher ups at the GWC hired English entrepreneur Alistair Galton to improve the company. Galton was not the best choice. he made costly budget cuts that made many worrs lose their jobs. The company would continue to operate for 200 more years before filing for bankruptcy. The hydroelectric dam and the purification plant, nicknamed Ghost Town by locals tribesmen near the area, fell into disrepair. The UNSC base is still used today, but the water based goals of the base have been shut down.

Ending
In conclusion, the Global Water Campaign was a great idea during its run, but scandal, bad spending, and time have ended it. Can it be repaired? The future looks bleak. But perhaps the structures can still be used. Reports state that several armored figures use the Ghost Town purification plant as a training ground. True? We may never know. </toggledisplay>
