In the title compound, C18H18N2O4S·H2O, the indole and toluene ring systems are oriented at a dihedral angle of 84.51 (9)°. In the crystal, the components are linked by N-H...O, O-H...O, C-H...O and N-H...[pi] interactions. These include a short link from the [alpha]-C atom of the amino acid fragment.
