Raid botched without water (4)

I believe the answer is:

arid

'without water' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'raid botched' is the wordplay.
'botched' indicates an anagram.
'raid' is an anagram of 'ARID'.

(Other definitions for arid that I've seen before include "Sterile" , "Parched and barren" , "Dry and sere" , "Desiccated" , "flat" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
