Meet Swampy

Thank you for collecting ducks to make a statement about the importance of protecting freshwater resources around the world! Conservation International (CI) is teaming up with Disney's Friends for Change, the Disney Worldwide Conservation Fund and YOU to support our freshwater conservation programs — because ALL life on Earth needs water to survive.

Play the free online or mobile versions of Disney's hit game "Where's My Water?" from now until the end of February to collect ducks and learn about fresh water scarcity along the way. We want to collect as many ducks as possible to increase visibility for this issue.

Just like the lovable "Where's My Water?" character, Swampy, some people don't have clean water available when they want to take a bath. And almost 2 billion people in the world lack access to clean drinking water. That's why Disney supports CI. We work all across the planet to protect nature and its gifts — like the air we breathe, the water and food that nourish us, and the medicines that heal us.

In addition to getting the word out about the need for freshwater conservation through "Where's My Water?," Disney is making a generous donation of $50,000 to CI's freshwater work. Our Freshwater Initiative partners with local communities, governments, businesses and people like you to ensure that fresh water is plentiful and available. Learn more about CI's approach to conservation and why it is so critical for all of us to conserve and protect fresh water by checking out the videos, photos, stories, and infographics on this site.

And remember, keep collecting ducks to raise awareness for this important issue!

Freshwater Facts
  • Agriculture uses a huge amount of water, more than 70 percent of available surface water each year.
  • Nearly 40 percent of the rivers in the U.S. are too polluted for fishing and swimming.
  • Nutrient runoff from agriculture has created algal blooms that deplete oxygen from the water and result in dead zones.
  • Nearly every major river in the world has been dammed, altering natural freshwater flows, cutting off migration routes and depleting fisheries downstream.
  • We have already lost more than half of our planet's wetlands and an estimated 30 percent of freshwater species.
  • Sixty-nine percent of river catchments, responsible for the capture and provision of our freshwater supply, remain unprotected — putting more than two-thirds of the source areas of our rivers at risk.
  • Declines in native species and changes in freshwater food webs have been estimated to exceed US $100 million in lost income revenues.
  • In the next few decades, more than half of the world's people are expected to live with severe water scarcity.
  • Climate change, a growing global population, and increasing demands on water due to higher standards of living threaten to further burden our planet's freshwater systems.
