"Currently, only 20 per cent of the water pumped from the Tucson basin to water the city is being replaced by rainwater."
not much room for misunderstanding this though, is there?!

As both Faldage and you were doing dunno's I thought you weren't sure. I think it's fine enough.

Uh, all fresh water was once rainwater. The difficulty lies within Dan133's question. Dan wants to apply a general term for a specific action. That word doesn't seem to exist. So Dan, therefore, must make up a word to serve his concept. If it floats it will become boat, as they say.

Not necessarily. He could just use a phrase, like "to supply water to" or the like. Not everything requires its own word. Believe you me, if a single verb ever becomes necessary, one will get coined, but it seems no great need exists for the nonce.
Ceci n'est pas un seing.
