He says that the water crisis has exacerbated COVID-19 all over the world, meaning this World Water Day hits a little different.

It was bold and refreshing, but many experts considered it impossible to sustain. Now, 15 years later, Harrison catches us up to date on his organization’s mission to solve the world water crisis.
