Raid bungled without water (4)
I believe the answer is:
arid
'without water' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'raid bungled' is the wordplay.
'bungled' is an anagram indicator.
'raid' with letters rearranged gives 'ARID'.
(Other definitions for arid that I've seen before include "(Of an area) very dry" , "Dry and withered" , "water shortage?" , "Dry and unfertile" , "(Of climate) dry" .)
