The Fountain dried up.

The Fountain of Imperium was brought to Earth at some point in the distant past by aliens, and gifted to humans. In 1925 Texas, a young Esperanza Cruz came across the Fountain and it saved her from the evil men who attacked her house and killed her mother Gloria. She became linked with the Fountain, gaining the ability to sense and understand aliens and was sent to the future.

In 1939, it was located in a cave just outside of Albacete, Spain. After planes began to bomb the area, Fernando sought refuge in the cave, whereupon a purported angel told him to drink from the Fountain, giving him the ability to repeatedly heal his uncle's wounds. Shortly thereafter, Fernando brought John Constantine and a now-adult Esperanza Cruz back to the cave, attempting to transfer his powers to John, but due to the Fountain's prophecy that only those who are worthy may drink from it, the powers disappeared. The fountain likely dried up from this event.

Trivia

• It's unclear how certain alien invasions could've ever happened if the Fountain of Imperium acts as a defense mechanism against invasions by hostile aliens. Perhaps it having dried up before (back in 1939) now has no effect on protecting Earth in the 21st century's invasions.
• The level of powers the fountain grants its worthy drinkers are considered god-like. This is equivalent to how much power Damien Darhk would have received from the destruction of the entire world had his plan for Genesis succeeded.

Behind the scenes

• The Fountain seems to be named after the Imperium in the DC Animated Universe series Justice League; an alien race that wiped out life on Mars, leaving J'onn J'onzz as the planet's sole survivor. Such a claim was also made by J'onn J'onzz in the Arrowverse, though in the latter case, Green Martians were decimated by White Martians in the Martian Civil War.
