    'The little water' here we are discussing about the water that was left in the bottle. Therefore 'the' shoule be there before 'little water'

    Little water that is in the bottle may be used for
    the child. (Incorrect)
    The little water that is in the bottle may be used
    for the patient. (Correct)
    because "The little" means "not much but all there is; definite"
