arid
desiccate
desiccated
lacking vitality or spirit; lifeless
a technically perfect but arid performance of the sonata
a desiccate romance
a prissy and emotionless creature … settles into a mold of desiccated snobbery
C.J.Rolo
waterless
lacking sufficient water or rainfall
an arid climate
a waterless well
miles of waterless country to cross
