refilling
Restoring depleted supply
Refilling is the act of filling something again after it has been emptied or depleted.
The word applies to containers, prescriptions, and supplies: The waiter kept refilling our water glasses, I need to pick up a refilling of my medication.
In casual use, refilling often drops its object: I'm refilling—want anything from the kitchen?
