aerations
Pumping in air
Aerations is the plural of aeration—the process of introducing air into something.
Lawn aerations involve punching holes in soil to let air and water reach grass roots.
In winemaking, aeration exposes wine to oxygen to soften tannins: The sommelier recommended aeration before serving.
Water treatment plants use aerations to remove dissolved gases and improve taste.
