drawdown
Steady resource reduction
Drawdown is a reduction or withdrawal, especially of military forces from a region or funds from an account.
In finance, it measures the decline from a peak value to a subsequent low: The portfolio suffered a 15% drawdown during the market correction.
Environmental contexts use drawdown for lowering water levels in reservoirs or aquifers.
The word emphasizes gradual depletion rather than sudden removal.
