The drop in water use came after decades of steady increase.

And then the first great drops of rain came down.

In April, as everybody now knows, the real drop came.

The drop in estimated tax revenue came after the project's overall size was cut by about 8 percent.

It was so sharp that the first drop of blood came with hardly any pressure at all.

But nothing else happened, not a drop of water came from the nozzle!

The drop came as imports fell for the third consecutive week.

That drop came despite a more than 50 percent increase in foreign orders for such tools.

More than half the drop has come in the last three months.

Every drop after that is paid for and comes by way of a black plastic tube.
