In the title compound, C15H13N3O3·H2O, the two benzene rings form a dihedral angle of 2.03 (2)°. In the crystal structure, adjacent hydrazide molecules are linked into dimers by water molecules; these dimers are then stacked along the b axis. Intermolecular O-H...O, O-H...N and C-H...O hydrogen bonds and a [pi]-[pi] stacking interaction between the nitrobenzene and tolyl rings with a centroid-centroid distance of 3.8208 (3) Å are observed. There is also a short O...N contact [2.6824 (7) Å].
