Marketing - Law (general)
English term or phrase: drawdowns
Day to day site inspections were carried out by Wood & Jepsen to ensure compliance and to assist the monthly drawdowns as signed off by Davis Langdon for the funder.

This is quoted from introduction brochure of a land development project for investment.

Can you tell me what drawdowns mean here?

Thanks

抽水使地下水位降低


Explanation:
drawdown--a lowering of the groundwater surface caused by pumping. 通过抽水降低地下水位。

"drawdown" in this brochure is a water science term, not a financial term.

Notes to answerer
Asker: I think this is more plausible because it is followed by signing off by the representative of the funder. But I have double checked the online dictionary www.dictionary.com. No such meaning has been proposed.

挖地基打基础就会有浅层地下水渗出,你得不断抽水,直到四周的水位降到地基最低点的高度为止。
