Prefix

습식 • (seupsik-)

2. designed for wet use

Usage notes

Only when something has both dry method and wet/liquid-based method to deal with, you can use the prefix 건식 (geonsik-) for dry one and 습식- for the other to distinguish them. If this classification doesn't matter in your conversation, it may be unnatural to prefix.
