Fill a water bottle after you get through security.

if you mean in toilet then do it say in delhi and good luck on your flight, hope you have seat next to toilets and no empty plane.

if you mean buy overpriced bottled water then yes, that's an option. but imagine some people want hot herbal tea on that flight, say 1-1.5 litre (ie they are sick). good luck negotiating with some airport 'restaurant' having say 8 tea servings for you (easily costing 20-30 usd/eur together)

Bad example. Delhi airport is actually really nice.

I mean the water bottle filling stations I've seen and used all across the US and Europe.
