English term or phrase: freshen
Из научной фантастики: в находящейся под землей морской воде (seawater) гниют погибшие растения и т.п. в результате чего время от времени происходят выбросы ядовитых газов, в основном метана.

freshen -- опреснять или освежать?

"A little gas here, a lot of gas there. People die, but not too many of us. And maybe we will marshal necessary resouces. Cut holes to the Ocean below and let out the bubbles in manageable little breaths. Or pump pure oxygen down under our feet, ***freshening*** the cold dead water." He waved the flame in front of his eyes. "Perhaps human can do whatever it takes, and our atmosphere isn't destroyed when the hydrocarbons eat up our precious free oxygen.
