These items, due to their immense power, are almost always going to be a [[Plot Device]] or otherwise [[MacGuffin|sought after]] at some point. A related object is a [[Philosopher's Stone]]. Whereas a Stone of Limitless Water is generally the mark of power of a deity or of magic, the Philosopher's Stone is the mark of the power of science or alchemy.

* In ''[[Anyone Can Whistle (Theatre)|Anyone Can Whistle]]'', one of these appears in a [[Dying Town]], which causes a huge boom to tourism. The trope is subverted in that the water is actually being pumped in from behind the scenes.

In this case, there is a [[Hand Wave|somewhat logical reason given]] for such behavior that does not [[Did Not Do the Research|justify the amount of water created]]

* In ''[[Series/The Miraculous Mellops|The Miraculous Mellops]]'', the Moonlings had limited water and created a pill that replenishes a container of water up to 50 times. It got into a bowl of fruit punch and they needed to clean it out.

* Such an object appears in ''[[Mousehunt]]''
