So you're fighting an unstoppable behemoth, and everything you throw at it just bounces off its skin. You and your companions run, but it's slowly tearing the place apart around you...
...until, in desperation, you throw your bottled Water at it, causing it to turn to dust instantly. What just happened? Did something else disintegrate it? Was it really a pushover this whole time and you just needed to take a refresher course somewhere besides the Imperial Stormtrooper Marksmanship Academy?
No (well, not only)! You've just faced down an enemy with a rather unfortunate Kryptonite Factor, one covering 70% of the planet, and the solution was always just to Kill It with Water.
Unlike Kill It with Fire, this strategy doesn't tend to be viable if you're fighting an opponent who doesn't specifically have a Kryptonite Factor to water... unless you use an unbelievable amount of it, then it's rather effective. Or you could try making it colder. You can even just increase the water pressure! Or, if your enemy is a demon or vampire, then you will most likely need to use holy water instead of regular water.
Woe betide someone with this weakness who goes up against a character fond of Making a Splash. Frequently a Weaksauce Weakness, may be counteracted with a Kryptonite-Proof Suit — usually made out of lead. Could be prevented if waterproofing existed. Can lead to an understandable case of Kryptonite Is Everywhere, because, well... it's water.
In video games, this often appears as a manifestation of Elemental Rock-Paper-Scissors. Consequently, beings with an affinity for fire are often unfortunately prone to this trope. For when water is merely a deterrent, see Cannot Cross Running Water. Contrast Heal It with Water, where water is presented as a healing force.
See also Holy Water, which will often act in this capacity against evil entities. Bringing a Water Tower Down is a common method to do this.

Wilfreda The Wanna Be Witch: Parodied and deconstructed. Victor, one of Wilfreda's more skeptical classmates, tries to prove she's not a witch by throwing water on her going off the ol' "witches melt in water" mythos. After he splashes her, however, Wilfreda counters that that rule only applies to wicked witches.

Another example of water proving fatal to aliens: the blob-like energy aliens in Night of the Big Heat can't be harmed with bullets or dynamite, but die at the end because their constantly heating the island up to suit their preferred climate causes a torrential downpour which melts them.

The Newcomers in Alien Nation get acid-like burns from salt water.
This makes for an awesome Heroic Sacrifice at the end of the movie when Newcomer George sees his human partner fall into the ocean, and reaches into the water to grab him. In what other circumstances could you reach into acid and pull forth a (mostly) unharmed friend?
According to those involved in the later TV series, only the sea-salt mixture of SEAWATER had this effect. Saltwater using ordinary table salt either had a much reduced or no effect. That said, it did come up a few times: assassins kill a major Newcomer figure by dumping rock salt into his swimming pool, and racist thugs armed with a seawater-filled squirt pistol nearly blind George's daughter.
The Newcomers also were kept in their ship for a long time and had built up a natural resistance, like how lungs adapt to higher-elevation living.

The various species of terrestrial mantis shrimp found on Henders Island in Fragment are vulnerable to salt-water. Not just vulnerable to it, terrified of it. However, this could be considered a subversion, as it is not the water itself that kills the creatures, but rather their inability to regulate salt when it is introduced to their bodies. This fact is used heavily in the plot of the story from explaining why none of these Death World natives haven't gotten off the island and killed us all yet, as well as who sent the emergency signal that brought the boat to the island in the first place and started the whole story. One of the characters actually lampshaded this similarity to the Triffids, another group of creatures susceptible to the "kill it with salt water" tactic.

In Tank Girl, the Big Bad CEO of Water & Power has himself turned into a cyborg with a saw-bladed arm and a holographically-projected face. This makes him nearly indestructible... until Rebecca dumps water on him and shorts out his circuits. That technically didn't kill him, just temporarily incapacitate him. It was her stabbing him with the same dehydration tool he'd use to kill two or three others (on-screen at least) in the movie that did him in. So... Kill him without water?

Enchanted Forest Chronicles:
Wizards, the antagonists of the series, can be (temporarily) melted by splashing them with water, mixed with soap and lemon juice. The discovery was completely by accident, and nobody's completely sure why it works, but it takes all three elements to do the job; in the second book, King Mendanbar forgets the lemon, which just results in wet, soapy wizards, until Cimorene reminds him.
They also invert the trope near the end of the first book, when the Stone Prince throws water on the wizard who is holding the witch Morwen hostage. The wizard melts; Morwen, who practices clean living, does not.

From The Dresden Files
Warden Carlos Ramirez is a water mage and combat magic specialist. In the Dresdenverse, water is associated with entropy and cleansing, and pretty much all of Ramirez's combat spells involve disintegration to some extent.
Senior Council Joseph "Listens-to-Winds" is an older and stronger version of Carlos. He once called a rainstorm, by a rain dance, to pour down heavily on a Physical God's magical attacks. The water purified and distilled the magic, nullifying the attacks. He would also simply be untouched as the magic that wasn't destroyed missed him or blipped out when it was a foot from him and then started up again behind him.
The Red Court vampire Arianna used water magic to counter Harry's fire magic during their duel in Changes. Which did work until Harry revealed that he, as the Winter Knight, now also could use Ice magic. She was quickly impaled with dozen of icicles.

Supernatural: Demons are highly susceptible to holy water, as you'd expect. One of Bobby's favourite tricks is beer with just a little bit of the stuff — if his visitor is human, they'll never even notice. If they're not, they burn. Also, at one point, the boys assault a building full of demons by consecrating the sprinkler system.

Power Rangers:
Power Rangers Mystic Force had the utterly invincible lava-based villain Magma. He spent the whole episode effortlessly handing the Rangers' butts to them, and then Madison gets pissed at her lack of screentime (no, seriously) and blasts him with a water attack... which burns him. (However, that's not what kills him - he then goes giant and resumes the butt-kicking against the Rangers' Humongous Mecha, but is defeated by the rules of his own game with the Rangers, which must be obeyed even to the death.)
Used several incarnations earlier in Power Rangers Lightspeed Rescue; the demons' weakness to water is the only thing that kept them from destroying the Lightspeed Aquabase as early as episode 2.

One of the "easy" ways to kill a Discworld golem is to heat it to a significant temperature, then drop a bunch of water on it (or vice-versa), and let the rapid temperature shift work its magic. This happens to Anghammarad, in Going Postal during the Post Office Fire.
In fact, this is only the second permanent Golem death encountered in the series thus far.

Black Clover: Noelle Silva's magic often veers to this due to the vast amounts of water she can produce. Her Sea Dragon's Roar spell rips off Vetto's arm and likely would have defeated him if not for his Mythical Beast Magic, and is the reason for her epithet "Water Goddess".

Amakusa 1637:
A group of captured Japanese Christians is taken to the Unzen Valley. The catch is that there are pools of very hot sulphuric water in Unzen, so they'll be tortured to death there. In fact, Natsuki and Eri walk into some jailers already torturing a man like this and attempt to confront them, but the one who saves the day is Eiji Horie since he uses a trick to create the illusion of a rising dragon, which terrifies the superstitious torturers as they believe they've angered the local gods. It's actually inspired in a Real Life case; see below.
Later, this is used in the form of a Drowning Pit where a pregnant woman and Eiji's love interest, the local Hooker with a Heart of Gold, are locked in. Which is actually the rendition of the incident that sparked the Shimabara Rebellion as a whole.

In Two-Step, Nick deals with an evolved Tank capable of punching train wagons like they're yoga balls and running as fast as a horse by shooting the ice under its feet so it falls in the water, correctly assuming that a creature that powerful would be too dense to swim.

Referenced in the "Everything Wrong With" series on CinemaSins. Whenever this trope pops up in a movie, it's sinned as "X has the same weakness as the Aliens from Signs." This includes the review of Signs itself.

Deadliest Catch, natch. Since the water they're in is near-freezing, falling in could cause death within minutes with complete and utter disregard to your ability to swim. A rescue has to happen pretty much immediately, and that is made extremely difficult by the rough conditions of the Bering Sea.

In Batman Beyond, water mixed into and diluted Inque's liquid body to the point of her being unable to hold herself together. This was used against her a few times, like her Batman: The Animated Series predecessor Clayface (though, being denser, it took a while for it to work on him.)

Dungeons & Dragons:
Vampires can be killed by completely submerging them in running water for three rounds (about eighteen seconds)... unless the creature was naturally aquatic before becoming a vampire, granting it immunity to that particular weakness.
The 3.5 Edition supplement book Sandstorm introduces the dry lich and salt mummy, undead whose desiccated bodies are damaged by contact with regular water as if it were holy water.

In Castlevania (2017), Dracula's vampire court spends an entire scene discussing whether running water is harmful. Godbrand, a viking vampire, points out that he's been on boats and taken baths, though Isaac (a human of the court) argues that bathwater hardly counts as "running". Carmilla also describes how Greeks used to bury vampires on islands to prevent them from leaving, but Godbrand thinks he'd know if running water would kill him, which Carmilla finds idiotic, since you don't automatically know that poison will kill you. The conversation is interrupted by Dracula telling them to shut up, and we never do learn whether running water harms them or not. The climax of the season shows a vampire army crossing a bridge easily, but they encounter problems when the water is blessed by a priest and they are dumped into it.

Parodied in Journeys of the Catechist: Faced with a living mass of desert sand called the Dunawake, Ehomba Etjole reaches into his backpack and comes out with a small vial of liquid, which he throws at the monster. When one of his companions asks what was in the vial, Ehomba says it was his supply of whater — not "water", "what-er", a rare liquid that his tribe uses to purify water by separating out any impurities. Applied to the Dunawake, the whater separates the monster into its component minerals, killing it in the process.

In Dune, Sandworms are poisoned by water in large amounts. And when killed thus they vomit a toxin that the Fremen Reverend Mothers use to unlock their Genetic Memory and then convert into a drug used in orgies. The God-Emperor Leto, in his millenary form of human-sandworm hybrid, has this weak point. The idea can be seen as hilarious as compared to the Wicked Witch of The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, in the following point. Leto himself shows this weak point to a girl that will be his future killer, having foreseen that his death is a necessary step in human evolution.

Power Rangers Mystic Force had the utterly invincible lava-based villain Magma. He spent the whole episode effortlessly handing the Rangers' butts to them, and then Madison gets pissed at her lack of screentime (no, seriously) and blasts him with a water attack... which burns him. (However, that's not what kills him - he then goes giant and resumes the butt-kicking against the Rangers' Humongous Mecha, but is defeated by the rules of his own game with the Rangers, which must be obeyed even to the death.)

In The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, a point is made about water being the only thing the Wicked Witch fears more than the dark... and yet she specifically has Dorothy (at this point her slave) cleaning her castle with water... This manages to be even dumber than the movie, where a bucket just happens to be lying around.
In The Musical of Wicked, her weakness to water turns out to be merely an urban legend, which she uses to fake her death.
In the book version of Wicked, she had a bucket sitting around collecting rainwater.
In the later Oz sequels, this goes from being specifically the Wicked Witch of the West's weakness to a weakness that ALL witches have in that universe. The witch Mombi is eventually executed via this method in The Lost King of Oz.

In Teen Titans (2003):
Beast Boy discovers that water is the most effective weapon against the Big Bad's army of mooks, which turns them into tofu. Cue epic super soaker gunplay!
Overload was also easily defeated with water at the beginning of "Car Trouble".
Also, in Teen Titans: Trouble in Tokyo, they captured Saico-Tek, who attacked their home; during interrogation, he set off the water sprinkler and disappeared. Beast Boy made a joke that he wasn't waterproof, that no one took seriously. It was later revealed that Saico-Tek, as well as the other colorful villains they faced during their visit to Tokyo, were made of ink, so he did pretty much get killed by water.

Very nearly happens to several characters in Cardcaptor Sakura in the episode dealing with the Watery Card. The card spirit itself is also shown to be very temperamental. Additionally, since it is of Classical Elements, it's more powerful than most of the other Card Spirits. So with some pointers from Tomoyo and Kero, Sakura solves the deal by invoking "Kill It with Ice" and locking Watery into a walk-in freezer.

Used in Case Closed, specifically in the case known as Billionaire Birthday Blues. Years ago, the Rich Bitch Reika and her Upper-Class Twit boyfriend Nikaidou saved themselves from a storm that crashed their boat via basically leaving the Rich Bitch's childhood friend Yaeko, who had come to help them, to drown in the sea. The guy who was in love with poor Yaeko, Ichieda, decided to take revenge... via murdering the two and using water as his "weapon of choice". In the present he strangles and drowns Nikaido, then he kidnaps Reika and puts her inside a makeshift Drowning Pit that he built in a deep Japanese bathtub, Bound and Gagged so she cannot escape. (As a bonus he drugs Ran and forcibly puts her head inside a water full sink so he can give himself an alibi... which only manages to ROYALLY PISS CONAN OFF and give him the first clues needed to take Ichieda down.
Also used in another case, where another Upper-Class Twit, Teruhiko, tried to get away from his soon-to-be Unwanted Spouse Shinobu via drugging the girl and leaving her to die by drowning inside a water park's closed section. The Detective Boys and Conan, however, found the unconscious Shinobu when they snuck into the spot, and from then on they worked in tandem to both save themselves and Shinobu and reveal Teruhiko's intentions.

In A Song of Ice and Fire, there are many mentions of Tywin Lannister's infamous slaughter of House Reyne, but it was never told how it was done. Then The World of Ice & Fire gave us the story and it turned out to be a version of this trope. House Reyne, having already suffered one defeat by the Lannisters, fled to a series of mines, hoping that the Lannisters wouldn't want to suffer the huge casualties that would be needed to storm the place, and that the Reynes could negotiate a way out. Instead, Tywin Lannister simply had all entrances and exits to the mines sealed and diverted a local river so that it flowed into the mines, drowning every single man, woman, and child inside. Not something to think about before going to sleep.

Any devil fruit user can be defeated if they can be submerged in seawater (a problem for a pirate-themed adventure on a planet with even more water than the Earth), especially if they are so nasty they don't have friends inclined to help them.
Sir Crocodile is made of sand that can freely disperse and reform when struck. When wet, however, the sand clumps together so his face can be punched in.

Sgt. Fury and his Howling Commandos: In an early edition, the Howlers, less Nick Fury, are held captive in a German jail. They manage to trick and overcome a guard, and break out of their cell. A call is heard, "Bring up Der Vater-Gun!", and "Reb" Ralston scoffs, saying, "They'll be throwing spitballs at us, next!". But the water CANNON actually proves quite effective in subduing the Howlers, as Ralston himself notes "it's like being kicked by a Missouri mule!" and the Howlers, drenched, are pacified.

Used several incarnations earlier in Power Rangers Lightspeed Rescue; the demons' weakness to water is the only thing that kept them from destroying the Lightspeed Aquabase as early as episode 2.

Any devil fruit user can be defeated if they can be submerged in seawater (a problem for a pirate-themed adventure on a planet with even more water than the Earth), especially if they are so nasty they don't have friends inclined to help them.

Spider-Man:
Flint Marko, Sandman, has the ability to convert his body to sand, granting him vast superhuman strength, durability and shape-changing abilities, making him one of the most feared and dangerous career criminals in the Marvel Universe. But douse him with a sufficient amount of water, and he dissipates into nothing, or at the very least, an ineffectual wimp. Subverted when said water is the villain Hydro-Man. When merged, the two become a rampaging, mud-based monster of limited intelligence. Because both can increase size by absorbing their composite elements, the monster can reach Kaiju levels of destructive potential. Fortunately, neither villain particularly likes this form and the two will go to lengths to avoid physical contact.
By all rights, Max Dillon, the villain Electro, by virtue of his vast control of electricity, should have taken over a country or at least killed a superhero or two in the course of his long tenure. But he's invariably handed his ass, often by foes he should have defeated handily, just because water makes Electro its bitch.

In Invader Zim, when Zim is hit by water he screams wildly and his skin gives off smoke/steam with a horrible sizzling noise. It is heavily implied that water acts as an acid to him (although creator Jhonen Vasquez has suggested that it's not the water itself, but the pollution in it) and so if Dib ever managed to pour enough water over him, he'd probably melt in a rather horrific fashion. Except that, unlike the aliens from Signs, Zim quickly discovered a way to waterproof himself once he discovered the weakness, which was to bathe himself in glue.

While, for Earth-based life, water is essential, hypothetical aliens who ran on biochemistries different to ours - those, for example, that lived in a planet so cold that liquid ammonia replaced water (which at those gelid temperatures would be frozen solid) - could see it as venomous. An even more dramatic example are those that came from a world as Titan, Saturn's largest moon, where rock-solid icenote Surface temperatures of -180 °C replaces rock and its equivalent of lava is liquid water; for them we'd be largely made of molten rock and we'd drink and bathe in it. Hence the aliens in Signs being defeated by water.

Also, in Teen Titans: Trouble in Tokyo, they captured Saico-Tek, who attacked their home; during interrogation, he set off the water sprinkler and disappeared. Beast Boy made a joke that he wasn't waterproof, that no one took seriously. It was later revealed that Saico-Tek, as well as the other colorful villains they faced during their visit to Tokyo, were made of ink, so he did pretty much get killed by water.

In Dark City John Murdoch kills Mister Book by telekinetically smashing his human host body into and through a water tower, killing the hydrophobic alien within. How a hydrophobic parasite could possibly live inside a being made up of roughly 70% water is a different matter entirely; since they inhabited dead bodies, salt and preservatives may have been involved. Squick.

Ultraman's human-turned-monster Jamila had this weakness. It's explained in the show that Jamila had been stranded on a waterless planet back when he was an astronaut, and as a result of his body adapting to the environment, water is now like acid to him. However, the resulting death by a spray of high-pressure water from Ultraman is not as cheesy as one might expect.

Kingdom (2019): The parasitic worms which started the zombie outbreak are extremely hydrophobic; the zombies themselves will also refuse to cross bodies of water that are shallow enough to walk through. In fact, the worms will immediately expel themselves from the host body if submerged in water, allowing freshly bitten victims to avoid zombification by removing the parasite before it reaches the brain.

In one episode of Sailor Moon, the Monster of the Week is a confectionery-based drone called Marzipan. She easily manages to get the best of the Senshi by encasing them in sweets, until Sailor Mercury manages to attack her with Shine Aqua Illusion. It causes Marzipan to become soggy and heavily weakened enough for her attacks to wear off.

Creatures with Earth, Fire, and Air affinities are immediately destroyed on contact with a large amount of water, such as a lake or ocean surface.

In Rifts, Vampires can be harmed, even killed by running water. This apparently means any water in motion. That means water hoses and squirt guns are effective weapons when vampires attack.

The "Frogs" in Raumpatrouille can live in vacuum just fine and aren't bothered by energy weapons (at least not the small portable models used by humans in the setting), but oxygen is lethal to them. This is why they bothered to depressurize the human outpost where they are first encountered instead of simply leaving it as-is, which in turn is what eventually clues the protagonists in to their Achilles' heel.

Part Four of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure has Red Hot Chili Pepper, a stand made of electricity. Since it becomes faster and stronger the more electricity it has access to, it's arguably one of the most powerful stands in the entire series, when circumstances align in its user's favor. However, since salt water is an extremely good conductor, it dissolves completely when immersed in the ocean.note It can reform itself afterward, but it seems to be severely weakened after doing so.

The Smurfs (1981) has the child-friendly version of the trope in episode "The Littlest Witch": witches do not die from exposure to water but lose their powers for a year, so they never bathe. The evil witch teacher in the episode (who looks a lot like the one in the Wizard of Oz) suffers this at the end.

During the title character's rampage in Carrie (1976), Norma's neck is broken by a firehose hitting her full blast in the face.

Lilo & Stitch:
While water itself isn't deadly to Stitch, he can't swim and is too heavy to remain buoyant even in salt water. Naturally, he winds up on the most isolated chain of islands in the world. The series shows that Stitch's greatest fear is, in fact, deep water.
That's not all. Several of his "cousin" experiments can also be nullified through water, although they also need water to be released from their capsule.
In The Movie, from a distance it looks like Stitch's ship is going to crash into the middle of the Pacific, and all the alien races there cheer as they assume he will fall into the ocean and drown. Then they zoom in and see that he manages to make landfall on a little tiny island chain. Much frustration ensues.

Gravity Falls: The Dipper clones in "Double Dipper", being made of paper, will droop and turn to (nonliving) sludge if exposed to any kind of liquid. They helpfully point this out to the original Dipper as they are totally subservient to him, though this proves more difficult than he expects because of their quantity. The exception is Dipper No. 2, who lives through it all and decides to have a peaceful soda with the original Dipper, forgetting about his weakness. Dippers 3 and 4 also survive, and the Grand Finale reveals they are out in the wild wearing raincoats to protect themselves.

In the short-lived Misfits of Science, Johnny B. couldn't touch water due to being a living electrical generator. The merest drop burned him.
