World Water Day: Celebrities Who Work To Save Even A Few Precious Drops

World Water Day is observed on March 22 every year. It is a day that reminds people about not wasting one of the most important elements that sustains life on the planet. The theme for World Water Day 2018 is "Nature for Water". What it means is that people should try to find nature-based solutions to water challenges in the 21st century.

Researchers estimate that at least 2.1 billion people on this planet live without having safe drinking water at home; affecting their health, education and livelihoods. World Water Day 2018 is an important day to highlight this situation.

Celebrities play an important role in highlighting water conservation efforts since their visibility is quite high and can reach the maximum number of people on World Water Day 2018.

Here are some celebrities whose work in saving water and raising awareness on water conservation has created an impact in some ways.

Matt Damon along with water expert Garry White founded water.org. It funds people in developing countries and emerging economies to set up hygienic sanitation and clean water infrastructure.
