waterings
Garden hose sessions
Waterings are instances of giving water to plants, animals, or land.
A garden requires regular waterings to thrive.
The word also applies to diluting drinks or adding water to other substances.
In older usage, a watering was a stop to let horses drink: The coach made several waterings along the route.
