Desert watering hole (5)
I believe the answer is:
oasis
'desert watering hole' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for oasis that I've seen before include "place of relief" , "Fertile area in desert" , "Manchester band featuring the Gallagher brothers" , "where palms grow" , "Desert pool" .)
