This work focuses on several aspects of water-related transportation laws as well as drainage law introduced in the Kingdom of Poland before 1860. Thus, while focusing on a) laws concerning the removal of diverse type of obstacles from the rivers used for official navigation; b) establishing of riverside towing routes; c) construction of rivers verst signs on the river banks, this research also deals with the introduction of provisions concerning draining and receiving of waters, which had a huge impact on the road construction and maintenance process in Poland for the first half of the 19th century.
