Abstract: In the title compound, C₁₀H₁₁NO₄·H₂O, the carboxyl group is twisted at a dihedral angle of 6.1 (3)° with respect to the benzene ring. In the crystal, the organic molecules are linked by pairs of O-HO hydrogen bonds involving both carboxyl groups, forming zigzag chains propagating along the b-axis direction. The water molecules form [100] chains linked by O-HO hydrogen bonds. The organic molecule and water chains are cross-linked by N-HO_water and O_water-HO hydrogen bonds, generating (001) sheets.
