watering
Hydrating the garden
Watering is the act of supplying water to plants, animals, or land: The garden needs watering.
A watering hole is a place where animals drink, or informally, a bar.
Watering eyes produce tears involuntarily.
A mouth-watering dish looks so appetizing it triggers salivation.
To water down is to dilute—literally with water, or figuratively by weakening: a watered-down proposal.
