- During this episode KITT tows a digger away from the pipeline. Surely this would have damaged his Alpha circuit as it did in episode 3, "Deadly Maneuvers," but KITT doesn't complain in this episode. edit »
- The German episode title is "Die große Dürre", meaning "The Big Drought". The French episode title is "Jusqu'à la dernière goutte", meaning "Until the Last Drop". edit »
- This is the first of Jason Evers' two, unrelated appearances on Knight Rider. He can also be seen in season three's "Halloween Knight." edit »
- The footage of the damn bursting at the climax of the episode is recycled from the movie, Superman. If you look carefully at some shots, you can see where the picture looks rather 'squeezed', due to the original wide-screen shots being crammed down. edit »
- Some prints of this episode have the narration on the opening credits, others do not. edit »
- (after evading bulldozers trying to ram them)
KITT: Are you positive it was a deliberate assault on us?
Michael: No question about it.
KITT: How can you be so sure?
Michael: Because earthmovers don't mate this time of year. edit »
- The title from this episode is from the line, "water, water, everywhere, and not a drop to drink," from "The Rime of the Ancient Mariner" written from 1797-99 by Samuel Taylor Coleridge. edit »
- The Lincoln County War that Josh mentions in reference to their own situation with Bremen, took place from 1878 to 1879 and involved cattlemen led by Billy The Kid against business owners wanting to seize their land in Lincoln County, New Mexico. edit »
