“We are delighted to have written this book together, and we look forward to sharing the story of what happens when a film actor and a civil engineer team up to try to tackle the global crisis of water – the stumbles and the obstacles, the breakthroughs and the big wins, and the amazing people we’ve met along the way, â€Damon and White said in a statement Tuesday.
“Our trip proved two things: First, solving the water crisis is possible – in our lifetime. And second, the key is to unleash the incredible determination and ingenuity of the people who fight for essential things like clean water and sanitation every day.
