A watermill typically consists of a wooden or metal frame supporting a water wheel, axle, and gearing mechanism. The water wheel, positioned in a channel or raceway, harnesses the energy of flowing water. The axle transfers this energy to millstones or machinery for tasks like grinding grains. The structure may also include a control mechanism to regulate water flow. While historically crafted from wood, modern watermills incorporate durable metal components for increased efficiency and longevity.
