rewetted
Made wet twice
Rewetted is the past tense of rewet, meaning to make wet again after drying.
The term appears most often in environmental contexts, where rewetting describes restoring water to drained landscapes: The conservancy rewetted the peatland to reduce carbon emissions.
Drained wetlands and bogs are rewetted to recover lost ecosystems.
