In the title compound, C14H11ClN2O4·H2O, the dihedral angle between the two benzene rings is 8.5 (2)° and an intramolecular O—H⋯N hydrogen bond is observed in the Schiff base molecule. In the crystal structure, the water molecule accepts an N—H⋯O hydrogen bond and makes O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds to two further Schiff base molecules. Further intermolecular O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds lead to the formation of layers parallel to the bc plane
