In the title compound, C10H16N2O· H2O, the cyclo-hexane ring is in a chair conformation and its least-squares plane makes a dihedral angle of 53.68 (5)° with the approximately planar pyrazole ring [maximum deviation = 0.034 (1) Å]. Pairs of inter-molecular N - H⋯O hydrogen bonds form inversion dimers between neighbouring pyrazolone mol-ecules, generating R 2 2(8) ring motifs. The pyrazolone and water mol-ecules are further linked by inter-molecular N - H⋯O, C - H⋯O and O - H⋯O hydrogen bonds into two-dimensional sheets parallel to the bc plane.
