Welcome to Clueless, our informal weekly clue-setting competition.

The idea is to compose a cryptic clue to a given word or phrase.

The winner of the previous week's competition both sets the word to be clued and judges the entries for the current week.

The judge's decision is final and reasons may or may not be given at the judge's discretion. It is customary for the judge to award a virtual prize to the winner.

Multiple entries may be submitted and new competitors are particularly welcome.

Clues should be submitted by 6:00 pm GMT on Wednesday 6th November, with the winner to be announced shortly after.

The answer to be clued is:

FRESHWATER (10)

Have fun and feel free to explain your clue (especially if particularly convoluted or obscure).

College where frats mix (10)

Hot liquid pool perhaps (10)

Stream of limited power available for student consumption (10)

Some swimming in a new lake?(10)

French cooking there was provincial (10)

A good drink in the desert perhaps(10)

What refers, wrongly, to melting ice (10)

Rugby player in retirement on the Isle of Wight (10)

(You may not remember Perry Freshwater!)

I was forgetting that aristo is American. Freshwater is a town on the Isle of Wight.
