Su ihtiyacını temine yönelik yapıların tesisi, onarımı ve su hizmetlerinin yerine getirilmesi vakıf kurumunun belli başlı faaliyet alanlarından birini teşkil etmiştir. Vakıf kaynaklarının desteği sayesinde su yapılarının işlevi uzun asırlar devam etmiştir. Osmanlı sultanları, hanım sultanlar, üst bürokrasi ve toplumun her kesiminden insanın yakından ilgilendiği su meselesinin çözümü için büyük bütçeler gerektiren yatırımlar yapılmış, İstanbul başta olmak üzere çoğu Osmanlı şehirlerinde suyolları, kemerler, çeşme ve sebiller ve daha birçok su yapıları inşa edilmiştir. Yapılan hizmetin sürdürülebilir olması için de vakıflar tesis edilerek kaynak ayrılmıştır. Su yapılarının sadece inşaası değil, zamanla ortaya çıkan onarımlarının yapılmasında, su hizmetlerinde istihdam edilen kişilerin ücretlerinin ödenmesinde vakıf kaynaklar sıkça kullanılmıştır. Bu sayede şehirlerin su ihtiyacının temininde ve bu hizmetin devam etmesinde kamu idaresine önemli destek sağlanmıştır.
