The work of the water worker was mainly to remove the mine water with vessels from the shaft sump. For this work always several hydrants were necessary. As a rule, two water workers stood in the shaft sump and scooped the water into the so-called puddle buckets. In the water shaft several water squads stood on tracks at short intervals, forming a chain. The filled buckets were passed on to the lowest water worker, who then passed the bucket to the next, until the bucket had reached the top and was emptied. In return, the emptied buckets were handed down again. On days when there was little water in the sump, the watermen were used for auxiliary work in the promotion. In mines with high water supply stages were installed in the water shaft at short intervals, on which the watermen then stood. Later, handpumps were used instead of the scoops. On each stage stood a water tank, into which a water pipe pumped the water. From this water box, the water was pumped to the nearest water tank until it finally arrived over days.
