Today’s “Word of the Day” is “parched“ and it is an adjective meaning “dry, dried out, dried up, arid, waterless, sun-baked, scorched, rainless, droughty, desertlike”.
Example Sentence: Bengaluru was not always dependent on pipelines or borewells… Today, with rapid urbanisation, lakes have either been directly encroached upon or are drying out as the connections between them are lost. This has not only resulted in a more parched city but also aggravated the risk of flooding. The lakes and storm water drains have also become a dumping ground for sewage from the buildings around them and in their catchment, affecting the possibility of them being used to capture rainwater or storm water.
