Comment: Sorry, was working on this the same time you were :) This is a chemical term that can apply to many chemicals. What's commonly known as the drinkable "pure alcohol" is really 5% water. The last 5% is difficult to remove, and thus it's a chemical process to do it. Look for pictures of "无水酒精"--it's not something you'd want to drink.

Note, "dehydrated" is a catch-all here; dehyrated e.g. foods is more commonly 脱水

"Waterless" is the term used in an article about waterless car washes
