Designed to supplement Disneyland in Anaheim, California, which had opened in 1955, the complex was developed by Walt Disney in the 1960s. “The Florida Project”, as it was known, was intended to present a distinct vision with its own diverse set of attractions. Walt Disney’s original plans also called for the inclusion of an “Experimental Prototype Community of Tomorrow” (EPCOT), a planned community intended to serve as a test bed for new city-living innovations. Walt Disney died on December 15, 1966, during the initial planning of the complex. After his death, the company wrestled with the idea of whether to bring the Disneyworld project to fruition. However, Walt’s older brother, Roy, came out of retirement to make sure Walt’s biggest dream was realized. Construction started in 1967, with the company instead building a resort similar to Disneyland, abandoning the experimental concepts for a planned community. Magic Kingdom was the first theme park to open in the complex, in 1971, followed by Epcot (1982), Disney’s Hollywood Studios (1989), and Disney’s Animal Kingdom (1998). It was Roy who insisted the name of the entire complex be changed from Disneyworld to Walt Disney World, ensuring that people would remember that the project was Walt’s dream.

In 2018, Walt Disney World was the most visited vacation resort in the world, with an average annual attendance of more than 58 million.[4] The resort is the flagship destination of Disney’s worldwide corporate enterprise and has become a popular staple in American culture. In 2020, Walt Disney World was chosen to host the NBA Bubble for play of the 2019–20 season of the NBA to resume at the ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex.

In Desert Hot Springs, California with a Mission Statement mandate to develop a successful Public Awareness Campaign dedicated to protecting and ensuring the fundamental right of access to safe drinking Water for All People.

On February 26, 1999 Desert Hot Springs won the coveted Berkeley Springs International Water Tasting contest 1st Place Gold Medal for the world’s best tasting Municipal Tap Water.

That moment in water history was the beginning of over six years of the actual formation of WWRF into a popular non-profit foundation. WWRF worked to select exceptionally well qualified volunteer directors, officers and advisory board members. WWRF developed and is very proud to publish our website as a comprehensive one-stop source for research of any and all water-related interests and news. WWRF selected quality links provides, efficient, retrievable worldwide water information and commentary, free of charge. The WWRF website is considered the hallmark of water repositories.

WWRF has networked closely with the United Nations, environmental and entertainment organizations working to defend our precious world freshwater resources. WWRF has sponsored many receptions networking with key UN Ambassadors to assist in adopting and implementing our goal of worldwide recognition of the “International Year of Freshwater – 2003” and the “International Decade for Action, Water for Life” – 2005 – 2015.”

The “Water Decade 2005 – 2015” mandate underscores the furtherance of international cooperation in order to address the urgent water-related goals contained in the Millennium Declaration, namely, to cut in half by the year 2015 the proportion of people who are unable to reach or afford safe drinking water. This challance, and meeting this serious goal, is one of the most noble commitments facing humanity.

Both the “International Year of Freshwater – 2003” and the “Water Decade 2005 – 2015” were initiatives of the Republic of Tajikistan. These two United Nations resolutions were tirelessly spearheaded by the Permanent Representative of the Republic of Tajikistan to the United Nations, H.E. Ambassador Rashid Alimov.

It was with honor that WWRF gratefully acknowledged Ambassador Alimov’s valuable support and cooperation with WWRF by naming him our WWRF Person of the Year for 2003. WWRF Spokesperson, David Carradine, presented Mr. Ambassador with our WWRF “Iris Award” for his outstanding contribution to the global water agenda at our 1st “Water For All People” Gala on June 10, 2004 in Desert Hot Springs, California.

The “Water Decade 2005 – 2015” grants us ten more years to work together to assure the availability of the priceless gift of freshwater. Let us think together of how we can save water – this invaluable gift of God – for the future generations.

The WWRF Logo symbolizes a drop of water that has embedded within it, our Blue Planet. Let us do everything possible to protect all the drops of water. Let us pool our efforts in hopes of bringing about a much needed Blue Revolution Public Awareness Campaign.

World Water Rescue Foundation is a nonprofit foundation dedicated to protecting and preserving the world’s water resources and ensuring the fundamental right of access to safe drinking Water for All People.

Water is essential to every aspect of life. We cannot live without it. There is no technology available that can manufacture it. It cannot be replaced or duplicated. It must be valued and safeguarded.

World Water Rescue Foundation exists to restore, in an environmentally sound manner and in harmony with the needs of the world, the integrity of the element of water, which is in significant danger.

As an international imperative, we seek to successfully sustain the earth’s water.

Our mandate demands that we pursue every possible way to preserve and protect the water supply of this planet.

Our mission is therefore to:

• Eliminate the world’s current struggle for safe drinking water resources through:
  a) Education and
  b) Scientific efforts.
• Eradicate all consequential health hazards associated with global water resources.
• Facilitate and support any and all efforts to conserve water ecosystems.
• Advance water-related education through publication and dissemination of documentaries and the organization of conferences, roundtables, seminars, expositions and concerts.
• Develop an international culture of water conservation and general health issues.
• Fund sound ecological planning, supporting any and all efforts to correct grave pollution issues confronting the world community.
• World Water Rescue Foundation will serve as a repository for research sourcing of any and all world water interests.
