Organisation unreservedly leaves levees to become empty of water (6)
I believe the answer is:
rundry
'become empty of water' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot judge whether this works.
'organisation unreservedly leaves levees' is the wordplay.
'organisation' is an anagram indicator.
'leaves' indicates named letters should be taken away.
'unreservedly' with 'levees' removed is 'unrrdy'.
'unrrdy' with letters rearranged gives 'RUNDRY'.
'to' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
