watering station

Drink refill point

A watering station is a place where animals drink, especially a designated stop along a route where horses or livestock can be given water.

The term extends to any place providing hydration: rest stops with fountains, aid stations along marathon courses, or spots in an office where people gather with water bottles.

The runners crowded around the watering station at mile six.
