Chinese water torture, often associated with the use of water as a method of psychological torment, is believed to have originated in the early 19th century. It gained notoriety in the Western world during the Victorian era, particularly as a sensationalized form of interrogation in performances and literature. The exact historical roots are unclear, but it became a popular trope in stories about torture and punishment.
