The water engine is a positive-displacement engine, often closely resembling a steam engine with similar pistons and valves, that is driven by water pressure. The supply of water is derived from a natural head of water, the water mains, or a specialised high-pressure water supply such as that once provided by the London Hydraulic Power Company.
