inflow
Current moving in
Inflow is movement into something from outside—the opposite of outflow.
Water inflow feeds a lake; cash inflow sustains a business.
The word appears often in technical and financial contexts: The reservoir depends on seasonal inflow from mountain streams.
Capital inflow describes money entering an economy or investment account.
