Reservoir parking is wet (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

damp

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'is wet' is the definition.
(similar in meaning)

'reservoir parking' is the wordplay.
'reservoir' becomes 'dam' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'parking' becomes 'p' (abbreviation on road signs).
'dam'+'p'='DAMP'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for damp that I've seen before include "Rising -, TV sitcom" , "Somewhat moist" , "Moist air" , "(Slightly) wet" , "soggy" .)
