Watermill

The watermill icon represents a device that harnesses the energy of water, commonly used to symbolize renewable energy or sustainability. It originates from traditional machinery and is widely recognized as a symbol for eco-friendliness and environmentalism. Its significance lies in promoting sustainable practices.

In software and digital platforms, the watermill icon appears in energy or environmental applications, such as renewable energy tracking tools or eco-friendly product websites. It's also commonly used in design tools, like Autodesk or Blender, where users can create and edit 3D models.

From a UX perspective, the watermill icon communicates the concept of sustainability and eco-friendliness. It helps users understand that they can expect an environmentally responsible experience.

Watermill is one of 418 icons in Maki, made by Mapbox and released under CC0. It is drawn on a 15 × 15 grid.

Sign in (it's free), then open Get icon, Install with shadcn CLI, and pick your package manager to copy the command. It adds WatermillIcon to components/icons/maki-watermill.tsx: one file, a size prop (24 by default) and every SVG prop, with no icon package.

Copy it as React (from Get icon, or the Code section): a typed WatermillIcon component you paste into your project, with no package to install. Only the icons you import reach your bundle. It works in Next.js and any React app.

Open Get icon, then Copy as code, and pick Vue, Svelte, Angular, Solid or Preact; the Code section shows each one too. Every version is one self-contained component with the SVG inside, and SVG and data URL copies are there for plain HTML and CSS.

With Pro, the shadcn.io MCP server lets Claude Code, Cursor or any MCP client find the Watermill icon, or any of 418 Maki icons, and install it from a prompt.

It's drawn in currentColor, so it takes the text color wherever you use it: a class like text-primary recolors it. To bake a color in, set one in Customize before you copy.

Set width and height on the component, or a class like size-6. It's drawn on a 15 × 15 grid, so it stays sharp at any size. Customize also sets the size it exports at, its padding and rotation.

Yes. It follows the text color, so with text-foreground (or any theme token) it changes with your light and dark themes. The icon is a vector, so it needs no separate dark asset.

Next to a visible label it's decoration: add aria-hidden="true" so screen readers skip it. Standing alone, as in an icon button, give the button a name instead, like aria-label="Watermill", so screen readers say what it does.

Yes. WatermillIcon passes every SVG prop to the svg element, so <WatermillIcon aria-hidden="true" /> works, and so do role="img" with aria-label, or a title child, when it carries meaning on its own.

Yes. Open Get icon, then Download file: SVG for code or design tools like Figma; PNG, WebP or JPEG at 512px; or an ICO favicon with 16, 32 and 48px inside. Each one uses what you set in Customize.

CC0 puts the icons in the public domain: use them anywhere, with no conditions. The full terms are in the license, linked on this page.

No. CC0 gives the icons to the public domain, so no credit and no notice is required. Icons installed with the shadcn CLI still start with a comment naming Maki, Mapbox and the license.

Yes. Copying and downloading it is free, and the shadcn CLI install only needs a free account.

Its tags are UI, energy, other, ecology, sustainability and mixed grid. Each tag page lists the icons that carry it from every library, which is the quickest way to find a match for Watermill in another set.
