Can you induce oxygen into water?

Yes. This is commonly done in processing sewage waste, where the material first passes through an anaerobic tank in order to kill off all the aerobic bacteria. It then passes through a aerobic tank, which in turn kills off all the anaerobic bacteria. This tank is vigorously aerated to dissolve air (oxygen) into the material.

In a fish tank, a small 'bubbler' is used to induce oxygen into the water for the fish to breathe through their gills.
