A watermill or water mill is a mill that uses moving water as its power source. It is thus a structure that uses a water wheel or water turbine to drive a mechanical process such as milling (grinding), rolling, or hammering. Such processes are needed in the production of many material goods, including flour, lumber, paper, textiles, and many metal products. Thus watermills may be gristmills, sawmills, paper mills, textile mills, hammermills, trip hammering mills, rolling mills, wire drawing mills, and so on.
One major way to classify watermills is by wheel orientation (vertical or horizontal), one powered by a vertical waterwheel through a gearing mechanism, and the other equipped with a horizontal waterwheel without such a mechanism. The former type can be further divided, depending on where the water hits the wheel paddles, into undershot, overshot, breastshot and pitchback (backshot or reverse shot) waterwheel mills. Another way to classify water mills is by an essential trait about their location: tide mills use the movement of the tide; ship mills are water mills onboard (and constituting) a ship.

Milling has taken place at Otterton Mill for over 1000 years. This short clip shows Otterton's volunteer millers producing wholemeal flour through the current 300 year old process. Otterton Mill produces it's flour twice a month and welcomes visitors, there is no fee. See www.ottertonmill.com for dates and times.
The mill wheel has just been restored. The wooden buckets had rotted away and have now been replaced with new Irish Oak timbers. This is the first time the mill wheel has run in at least 20 years. The mill was multifunctional in the past not only used extensively to grind corn for local farmers but also ran a sawmill and produced electricity for the houses in the immediate vicinity. The mill can be found just outside the village of Newtown, Nenagh, Co. Tipperary, Ireland
A description of two ancient Roman watermill complexes, the Janiculum watermill complex at Rome and the Barbegal watermill complex near Arles in southern France. The watermill complex at Barbegal has been referred to as "the greatest known concentration of mechanical power in the ancient world". Apart from water-powered flour mills, water-powered sawmills for cutting marble and stone were also in use in the Roman Empire, for instance the 3rd century Hierapolis sawmill...
