Water removal (8)

I believe the answer is:

drainage

(Other definitions for drainage that I've seen before include "System for removing liquid" , "Water removal system" , "Evacuation -- gardenia (anag)" , "Means of discharging water" , "Removal of waste water" .)

I've seen this clue in The Star Tribune.
