Slightly less perilous than a Lava Pit or Shark Pool but menacing nonetheless, the victim is Locked in a Room that is slowly filling with water. Could be accidental — like being sealed in a room with a busted water pipe — or an insane individual with a penchant for drama could have locked them there as cheap entertainment. Either way, the Big Damn Heroes better bash the glass wall or shut off the water before it's too late. Another variant involves the villain placing the hero inside some kind of non-buoyant container, a steel drum, vehicle, etc., and then tossing that into a large body of water. If the vehicle is a car, it's Trapped in a Sinking Car. Compare other death traps and Cement Shoes. May overlap with Water Torture. See Rising Water, Rising Tension for situations where the MacGuffin has to be secured from a place slowly drowning in water. May end in someone Opening the Flood Gates. Not to be confused with the band Drowning Pool. |

In The Adventures of Superman episode "The Haunted Lighthouse", a variation occurs when Jimmy Olsen's evil cousin and a friend lock him into a cave as the tide is coming in. According to Jack Larson, this happened rather often ("they were always trying to drown me, and the water was very cold"). | |

Before she can drown, she escapes through a portal, but this just leads to another dangerous situation that she has to face while completely naked before she manages to wake up. | |

X-Men: Done to Storm, with the added cruelty of her being severely claustrophobic. This would normally have been a stroke of twisted genius, but considering it was Arcade who did it, it was more likely just dumb luck. Amusingly, and further cementing Arcade's Butt-Monkey status as a supervillain, this was one of the few instances where Storm found herself in such a situation, and her claustrophobia didn't incapacitate her. (This trap was later adapted for one of Storm's missions in an X-Men/Spider-Man video game where Arcade was the villain.) | |

In Alias, Vaughn is trapped in a room rapidly filling with water that occurred as a side effect of something Sydney did earlier in the episode. He eventually escapes by swimming to the ceiling of the room and unscrewing a hatch in the ceiling with a screwdriver he just happened to have. This same trope is then subverted with the same miniplot as it turns out that though Vaughn didn't drown, he did get poisoned by the nuclear quality of the water. | |

CSI: NY: One episode’s killer was a stage illusionist who did this to his foster mother out of anger over feeling abandoned because he had issues as a kid and she gave him back because she feared for her new baby’s life. He sets it up as a Houdini-style water escape trick that she won’t escape from. Fortunately Mac and company arrive just in time to shoot out the glass. Another victim is trapped in a sealed room that slowly fills with cold water, subjecting her to hypothermia. The team locate and rescue her just in the nick of time. |

The Simpsons: This happens to Bart and Groundskeeper Willie, and it's made even worse by the fact that there are fans (or something with spinning blades) overhead that could chop them up. Parodied in "Simpson Tide". A variant in "The Curse of the Flying Hellfish". Bart is kicked into a crate by Mr. Burns, which falls off the boat and into the ocean; the crate slowly fills with water while Grampa ventures down into the sea to save him. |

Early on in Half-Life, in order to get past a barred-off passage you have to drop into a drainage canal and make it through a hatch on the other side. The hatch isn't reachable until you open a valve to flood the canal with water. Half-Life: Opposing Force combines this with a Lava Pit in the form of a room trap early in the game. As you try to cross the room, a fuse shorts out, blows open a tank of biowaste then proceeds to disintegrate the floor bit by bit. After you climb up to the catwalk, you notice the G-Man staring at you from the control room... the electrified waste is still rising... it's almost to your feet... then he opens the nearby maintenance door at the last second. |

Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest has this trope in the final but not very final area of the game, just before the final but not really final boss, in a level called "Toxic Tower."

It's full of skeletons of others who tried to use it, and she finds out why when she picks the lock on a door only for the passage to start flooding.

In the Relativity story "Rune Returns", the hero, Black Torrent, actually suggests to the villain that he attempt to drown him and the other heroes in this manner. It's actually a Batman Gambit, however, because Torrent knows that the room in question was designed to bury the heroes in sand. Filling it with water allowed them to float up to the door and escape. | |

Kamen Rider Ex-Aid pulls a zigzagged version of this in its usual fashion. The pit is a visual metaphor for Parado drowning in his fear as he is hunted down by Cronus in #39. Parado's end in the same episode is signified with an imaginary version of him being pushed into the pit to drown. His revival in #40 continues this impression with Emu diving into the pit to rescue him. |

Mickey, Donald, Goofy: The Three Musketeers: Disney's direct-to-video animated film has a variant in which the room, a dungeon in Mont-Saint-Michel, is naturally filled with water by the rising tide. Mickey gets locked in there and almost drowns. | |

The Plague Dogs has a variant in the beginning of the film in which one of the two dogs is dipped in a pool and timed to see how long he can swim before starting to drown, as some kind of experiment. It doesn't fill up with water, but there's no way for the dog to escape. | |

James Bond: Dr. No: Dr. Julius No decides to execute Honey Rider by cuffing her to the inclined side of a pool with water pouring in from a large pipe. Bond finds her and releases her. For Your Eyes Only: The secret compartment of the spy trawler St. George turns into this as the ship fishes a Sea Mine and sinks with its British spy crew onboard, leaving no survivor. Die Another Day: Jinx is locked in one of the rooms of Gustav Graves' Ice Palace, and Graves uses Icarus to melt the palace, resulting in her room filling with water. Bond saves her from drowning in the nick of time after disposing of Zao. Casino Royale: Vesper Lynd lets herself drown in Venice after the elevator the Quantum henchmen locked her in gets submerged. No Time to Die: On the ship where Bond, Felix Leiter, and Logan Ash meet after the Cuba scene, Ash reveals himself as a traitor, shoots Leiter and locks him and Bond in the ship's hold then causes an explosion to sink it, filling the ship with water. Leiter succumbs to his gunshot wound and Bond manages to escape. |

Amakusa 1637: A pregnant woman named Yone is locked into a "water prison" outside the local daimyo's castle. Another woman named Kichou, The Mistress to the cruel daimyo that had Yone imprisoned, is also put in there for helping the peasants behind the lord's back and because said Lord is already pissed off due to rumors that she has been sleeping with other men (she is in love with one of the protagonists, but they haven't had sex.) What's worse is that this did happen in Real Life. Having a local mom-to-be locked in one of these is what sparked the infamous Shimabara rebellion... which is exactly what the protagonists are attempting to prevent. Natsuki, however, manages to make the guards surrender and rescue both victims in time. |

American Dad!: In the episode "Tear Jerker", a spoof of James Bond films, the title villain (played by Roger) has one of these in his lair to dispose of minions who fail him too often. It even fills via two eye-shaped water spouts so as to look like crying. Unfortunately Roger's contractor for his lair was so inept the slide that was supposed to deliver the victim to the vat is too narrow and said victim invariably gets stuck before making it to the vat, necessitating another minion to use a broom to dislodge them. | |

Walker, Texas Ranger The Villain buries a bus full of kids as part of a ransom plot, but a freak storm causes it to start filling with mud. In the Season 6 episode "No Way Out," Alex and Trivette are kidnapped by one of Walker's enemies (Caleb Hooks, who was previously captured by Walker but has escaped from prison) and thrown into one of these. Adding insult to injury, the water is ice cold, putting them at risk for hypothermia as well. Walker, of course, shows up Just in Time, moments after both have been completely submerged (Walker has to perform CPR on Alex and successfully revives her) ... and things end moments later with an "Everybody Laughs" Ending. |

Half-Life: Opposing Force combines this with a Lava Pit in the form of a room trap early in the game. As you try to cross the room, a fuse shorts out, blows open a tank of biowaste then proceeds to disintegrate the floor bit by bit. After you climb up to the catwalk, you notice the G-Man staring at you from the control room... the electrified waste is still rising... it's almost to your feet... then he opens the nearby maintenance door at the last second. | |

Dwarf Fortress: Behind the Dwarven Atom Smasher, a Drowning Pit is probably the second most common trap players start designing. Can be combined with Lava Pit for further obsidian-producing lulz. It is also possible, by capturing and relocating dangerous aquatic creatures, to turn a Drowning Pit into a Shark Pool, possibly with Lethal Legendary Carp if the player so desires. However, actually getting that done is a challenge on its own while not substantially increasing the lethality of the trap, making it something of a Difficult But Awesome But Impractical option. Aquifers — layers that spawn water indefinitely, which ensures both access to clean water and "fun" if plumbing is not planned perfectly. |

Stargate SG-1: In the episode "Descent", O'Neill and Carter are trapped in a corridor of an Anubis' Mothership that is now deep in the Northern Pacific Ocean. The corridor starts to fill up with water. Fortunately, Thor is able to override the command and let them out before they run out of air. Also happens in the Season 6 episode "Evolution Part 1". Daniel and Lee get trapped in one of these when the underground temple they're exploring begins to fill with water after they remove the Telchak device, though they manage to swim back through the narrow passageways and make it to the surface. |

In Uninvited, one of the bathrooms contains a surprisingly deadly sink. Namely, it won't turn off once you turn it on, and won't drain, eventually causing the room to fill up with water. This turns out to be the only way to get to the final room in the game. The door is on the ceiling, and you need to swim up there to open it. | |

Batman: Naturally, Batman has escaped a number of these traps. One of the best is created by the Riddler in "The Primal Riddle"; Batman is caught between drowning and electrocution, and the solution he comes up with is so nerve-wracking that it only works because his soul happens to be outside his body at the time, leaving him emotionally deadened (and thus immune to fear). During Paul Dini's run on Detective Comics, The Joker shoots Zatanna in the throat so she can't recite her spells, and seals her in a water tank while strapping Batman into an Electric Torture device. Batman manages to break free of his bonds and free Zatanna from the tank. Zatanna had healed her wound by writing the words "Laeh Em" ("Heal Me" spelled backward) on the lid of the water tank with her own blood. In Death of the Family, Catwoman is first trapped in a centrifuge by the Joker. Just as she's about to escape it, the centrifuge gets filled with water, turning the trap into this. She escapes that too. |

In Goku: Midnight Eye, the title character turns to be in this situation into a Moment of Awesome when he is trapped in a hallway section that has been sealed off and is being filled with water. Using his cybernetic eye, he doesn't just open a door to either escape or drain the area, but he waits for a sufficient amount of water to fill in while closing and opening certain other doors on the floor, while the villains in the control room wonder what he is doing. Suddenly, Goku opens one door of his section, and the water is rushed out towards the control room. The villains realize to their horror that he is directing the water and in effect turning the death trap into a weapon heading right for them! | |

BLUE GUARDIAN: Margaret: At one point, Margaret is captured and wakes up naked and tied up in a glass tank filling with water while the villains watch and taunt her as she struggles. She passes out from lack of air, only to wake up in a cell, still naked. She must then break out and sneak through the base to recover her clothes and weapons. However, if she gets caught again, she'll be put in the tank again, this time until she drowns for real. | |

In Vision of the Future, Luke and Mara end up in the secret cavern beneath the fortress called the Hand of Thrawn. There's an underground lake a mere wall away. While the two of them stare at the cavern's secret, floating asleep or not yet alive in a Spaarti cylinder, the cavern's droid defenders open fire. It quickly becomes obvious that the only way out of this is to nick the wall separating the cavern from the underground lake, which they do, but the water comes in at such a high pressure that the way they came in from gets blocked, and the air gets harder to breathe as the water takes up more and more space. Luke asks Mara to marry him. | |

In the Batman: The Animated Series episode "Be A Clown", after knocking out Batman, The Joker puts him in a straitjacket and in a glass tank that is slowly filling with water. Jordan, a young boy who had been hanging out with Joker and unaware of his true nature, attacks the glass with an ax and cracks it before Joker snatches it away and chases him. Batman then attacks the crack until the tank ruptures, freeing him. | |

Case Closed: Done by a murderer in one episode. In this case, sitting the Asshole Victim in a very deep bathtub, then leaving the faucet slowly running till the water reaches a point where the victim ended up drowning due to being Bound and Gagged — and done in such a way that filling the tub will take hours. Aaaaaaaaargh! Another one was used in the past. More exactly, the jealous magician Motoyasu Tsukumo killed his own disciple Yashiro Kinoshita by transforming the water tank he was performing in into one of these, then leaving Yashiro to drown in public. Everyone thought it was an unfortunate accident since the trick was already very dangerous... but Yashiro's younger sister Mako didn't buy it. And 20 years later, she killed Tsukumo himself. |

In Season Three of Yu-Gi-Oh! GX, during Judai's Disclosure Duel with Professor Saito, Professor Cobra traps his friend Asuka in a death trap like this and threatens to let her drown if Judai wins the duel. Unfortunately, losing might put the entire school in a lethal situation. Fortunately, while Judai isn't able to Take a Third Option here (other than stalling against Saito, who eventually tries to Take Him With Him), Jim manages to find and rescue Asuka in time, letting Judai win by protecting himself from the damage from Saito's kamikaze strike. | |

In A Song of Ice and Fire, much is made of the ruthlessness of Tywin Lannister, and his slaughter of House Reyne of Castamere is often mentioned, although never entirely explained. Then The World of Ice & Fire came out and revealed that Tywin essentially used this trope. After having defeated the main Reyne army, the household fled into a series of underground mines that would cost Tywin an absurd number of soldiers if he tried to storm it, hoping they could convince Tywin to negotiate. Instead, Tywin sealed the mines and divert a nearby river into them, turning the entire thing into a drowning pit. Davos is being held by a lord with a castle by the sea, and he makes casual mention of the fate of those who might annoy him: being chained to the floor of his dungeon waiting for the tide to come in. |

Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation: Somewhat Played With in that the hero intentionally enters the drowning pit knowing it's a very, very bad idea. The MIF - specifically Ethan and Benji - have to break into a secure SCIF in Casablanca to retrieve a data copy of a stolen ledger the main villain has been using as his piggy bank. The SCIF is crazy secure with multiple verification procedures that make it absolutely impenetrable. The only way to get in is to discreetly install a profile for Benji. The problem? The profile servers are housed in a massive, deep underwater cooling spool. Which can only be accessed through a huge, long water intake tunnel. And once inside, the cooling spool is spinning constantly, creating a powerful current. Oh, and it's got metal detectors. So no scuba. Ethan literally has to free dive inside with nothing but a wetsuit and plastic goggles, swim against the current, install the profile, and swim to an escape hatch - all on a single breath. In a franchise subversion, Ethan doesn't accomplish this no worse for wear. He actually does drown, but is rescued and resuscitated by Ilsa not long after with some humorous results. In this one instance, the mission really was impossible. | |

In a twist, Fraser broke the sprinkler — he knows the bank robbers are drilling through the door, and he figures the water will distract them once they manage to get into the vault. Of course, that means they have to worry about drowning if the robbers don't break in fast enough... | |

His entire world crumbles, falling out with George Freeman and Bob Trimbole, his wife leaves him, and he sees no choice but to go to the police involved in the corruption for help, knowing they will probably kill him. His wife won't even let him talk to his kids when he is awaiting his fate. Then he's taken out on a rented boat, where the officers reveal a stove, beat him despite his pleas to be shot instead, tie him to the stove, then throw him overboard, the police laughing all the while, especially at him praying for forgiveness. | |

Maria no Danzai: This is largely how Kowase meets his end. Maria drugs him and cuffs him inside a drowning pit, then gives him two options to escape once he wakes up: either unlock his cuff by inserting the number representing his greatest sin, or use the rusty cleaver Maria left him hanging from the ceiling to cut off his own hand. Long story short, Kowase fails to guess the correct password, and the cleaver breaks before he can cut the bone, leaving him to drown slowly and helplessly. | |

A variation in The Dead Can Wait by Robert Ryan. Dr Watson is examining corpses stored in an icehouse when someone bolts the door and opens a sluice gate to a nearby lake. The icehouse isn't watertight so wouldn't rise high enough to drown Watson, but the object is to kill him with hypothermia. | |

Unsounded: When the self-destruct spell for the caverns beneath Litriya Shrine is set off the cavern containing Inaktown starts filling with water from the nearby river. Most of those inside were killed when the spell first went off and blew the walls, but by the time Duane tries to save those still there the cavern has filled entirely and there are no survivors left inside. | |

In Natica and Sandy: Underwater Rescue, every stage takes place in one of these, as the main objective is to use Natica to release Sandy from a chain that keeps her stuck underwater before she drowns.

Kent hits on the idea of breaking a water pipe in the hope that the water will absorb the force of the bomb, but the room fills up too fast and the pair of them nearly drown before the bomb explodes, freeing them without injuring them as Kent had hoped. | |

Pokémon: The Series: A nice inversion: when Ash is trapped in an airtight van, he uses Squirtle to flood it until the water pressure rips the doors off. How is Squirtle holding that much water? Don't ask. Pokémon Adventures has the "make-your-own" variant when Matt floods a cable car to drown Sapphire. It doesn't work, since Sapphire manages to bust a window to drain it. |

Baywatch: In the Baywatch: Hawaii episode "Good Man in a Storm", Sean and Jenna escape a hurricane and find shelter in a military bunker, only to be trapped as water floods the room. Jenna performs an Action Dress Rip to help stem the flood. Her strapless dress consequently becomes a conveniently eye-catching Sexy Soaked Shirt. In "The Armored Car", Eddie and Shauni are trapped in the back of the titular car as it falls into the bay. For worse, Eddie is pinned down to the back of the car by a huge box that fell on him when he saved a little girl who was inside the car. |

OneyPlays- In episode 2 of the channel's Super Mario 64 Let's Play (featuring Chris/Oney, Ding Dong, and Julian), the trio joke about the secret water level being called "The Drownhouse" and that they humanely kill people in Texas by putting people in it and dropping it down from several feet high above the ground ("If the drownin' don't kill ya, the gravity will!"). Later on, they joke that Satoru Iwata died because he asked Nintendo for "all the water they had", prompting them to leave him in the Drownhouse. | |

It looks like a teenage girl has been kidnapped and locked b a tank of rising water, but it turns out to be fake. She’s using it to get money from her rich dad after he cut her off. Cole ends up using the tank to hold the fugitive and he nearly drowns because he had lied about his species and wasn’t actually a water-adapted Nodulian. | |

The Drowning Pool starring Paul Newman builds up to this. The hero tries to find a way for him and a woman who is trapped in a locked room (actually a large swimming pool) to escape, by clogging the drain at the bottom, then setting off the sprinklers so they can reach the windows at the top of the room, only to discover as they rise to the ceiling, that the windows are sealed shut, and he can't get the rag out of the drain. The villains come to investigate the captives who have been locked up all night, open the door, and are swept away by thousands of gallons of water. | |

In one of the later books in the The Saga of Darren Shan, Darren is called to do a series of tests for the leaders of the vampire world. One of these challenges is to find his way out of a maze that is slowly filling with water. While he has a boulder tied to him. | |

Code Lyoko: One episode had Ulrich (with a broken/very badly hurt arm) and Sissi sealed in an elevator filling with water, thanks to XANA. Luckily, the others are able to win the day and hit the reset button just as the two fall unconscious. And then used again when XANA traps Odd in a more typical drowning pit — with a grate on top — so that a fake Odd can get to Lyoko and kill the others. Yumi is able to save him at the last second. |

Saw: Saw III: There's a really disgusting version of this trope involving liquified rotting pig corpses. Saw V: Strahm has a locked, watertight box placed on his head that fills with water and will eventually drown him. He only escapes by giving himself an emergency tracheotomy with a ball-point pen. |

In Divergent, Tris experiences one in a hyper-realistic simulation. Such simulations are designed for the Dauntless faction to overcome most if not all their fears. | |

Ice Age: The Meltdown: Ellie is trapped under a pile of boulders just as the valley begins to flood. The valley itself is a larger example; one of the vultures describes it as a bowl that will fill with water when the ice dam breaks. | |

Saori and Gemini Kanon from Saint Seiya were locked in pits like these in respectively the Poseidon arc and a flashback therein. Saori was in hers by Poseidon after rejecting his We Can Rule Together offer, Kanon was locked in his' by Saga after a huge disagreement. And it was through the pit that Kanon reached for Poseidon's realm, summoned him, and then became Man Behind the Man. Nice job breaking it, Saga! | |

Cold Case had a flashback of a serial killer's childhood. He passed by a well a woman had fallen into, and instead of getting help, he spat on her. Realizing he wouldn't help led to her crossing the Despair Event Horizon. He then watched happily as she gave up and drowned. | |

You have to invoke this in the old computer game The Crimson Crown. After the Vampyr has you and your companion Sabrina thrown into a pit to rot, you whistle to summon an owl you had befriended earlier, who leaves a tree branch and a beehive with you. Inside the pit with you is a constantly draining water source; you use the beehive to plug the hole, causing the pit to fill up with water, and then hold onto the tree branch to eventually climb your way to the top of the pit and escape. | |
