In sentence (i), "deplete" is used correctly to mean the reduction or exhaustion of something, in this case, the water supply. In sentence (ii), "depleting" is also used correctly, referring to the gradual reduction of savings. In sentence (iii), "deplete" is incorrectly used. To "deplete" something means to reduce or use up a resource. The sentence suggests that depleting resources is necessary for sustainability, which is incorrect. Â
