water rations
Limited liquid portions
Water rations are fixed allocations of water distributed during shortages, emergencies, or expeditions where supply is limited.
The term implies scarcity and controlled distribution: Each person received their water rations for the day.
Rationing ensures everyone gets a share when there isn't enough to go around freely.
