The authors of the article signal the ways of using water in the economy of Old Prussia in the late Middle Ages and early Post-medieval period. They indicate its use in communication and transport (digging the Dobrzycki Canal at the beginning of the 14th century in order to connect the Jeziorak and Ewingi lakes and changing the length and course of the Wel River in the 14th century, which provided water not only for Wel River, but also for Drwęca River and improved its navigability) and the possible method of its delivery for consumption purposes. In the latter case, the authors refer to examples of canals built in the 14th century, supplying water to the towns of Frombork and Reszel. They also indicate the possibility of supplying water not only by means of wells, but also other, more complex devices - bucket mechanisms. Such a mechanism existed in the early post-medieval Frombork, it could have also existed in the castles in Przezmark, Sątoczno and the Równina Górna. The authors emphasise the need for further research.
