dries up
Becomes completely parched
When something dries up, it loses all its moisture and becomes completely dry: The creek dries up every summer.
Resources or supplies that dry up become depleted or unavailable: Funding dried up after the scandal.
A person who dries up stops talking, either from forgetting what to say or from being silenced: She dried up completely during the audition.
