Abstract
Human efforts to regulate watercourses and the use of water energy in their favour goes back into the past. Although historical water management and utilization structures are the proof of that, only a small number of such structures have been preserved. The article deals with the applied research of the use of modern geodetic laser scanning stations in combination with photogrammetric digital technologies for creating technical documentation and digital visualization of historical structures and national cultural monuments. Specifically, in this case, we will focus on the water utilization buildings – the water mill and water sawmill in the National Open-Air Museum, Rožnov pod Radhostěm, Czech Republic. Digital twins created using modern technologies may well serve not only for geo-tourism purposes but also as basis for potential future reconstruction or redevelopment projects.

Highlights
The history of water management and utilization structures has been closely connected with the beginning of establishing the first human settlements
With Referenced Model we achieved improved accuracy of pure photogrammetry models by implementation of control points across all three models
The results of the measurement indicate the direction in which the technical documentation of the objects will take in the coming years
Summary
The history of water management and utilization structures has been closely connected with the beginning of establishing the first human settlements. This fact points to the importance of water as a basic resource for human life. Ponds, and artificially built local dams have long helped to affect the surrounding fauna and flora, and significantly contributed to water management. They may have several functions from flood control measures, serving as water reservoirs for irrigation purposes, include gear mechanisms used to generate power, or may form spaces suitable for recreation. During the peak of milling in the Czech Lands (late 19th century), a mill, either wind or water, made part of almost every village [1]
