We decided to do a fact-check on this.

Fact Check 

• Founded in 1971 and headquartered in Geneva, Switzerland, the WEF aims to improve the state of the world by promoting public-private cooperation and finding solutions to global challenges. More can be read on their website
• Furthermore, WEF has been a vocal advocate for sustainable water management. It has published several reports on the issue and has worked with governments and businesses to develop solutions to water scarcity. More details about this can be taken from here 
• The WEF is committed to working with its partners to create a more sustainable and equitable world.
• Our investigation did not yield any public statements about such type of global water rationing made by the WEF, and there is no evidence to suggest that it is considering such a measure.
• The website article that originated this claim does not provide any concrete evidence about its claims either. The article can be read here: Archived. Furthermore, it’s not the first time that this thepeoplesvoice. tv website made such unsubstantiated claims targeting the WEF, which can be read in one of our earlier debunks, as seen below.

• The fact-checking team of USA Today contacted the WEF, and a spokesman said that the organization has never published any posts or made any such statements about water rationing. The WEF cannot mandate that governments ration water or other resources, Scott Moore, a political scientist at the University of Pennsylvania, said to USA Today.

Conclusion:

The claim that the WEF plans to introduce a global water rationing system is false. There is no evidence to support this claim, and WEF also has denied these unsubstantiated claims.
