A quick definition of haustus:

Haustus: A type of ancient Roman law that allowed people to draw water from a well or spring on someone else's property. This was called aquaehaustus. It also included the right to use a path to get to the well.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Haustus (haws-tuh-s) is a type of servitude in Roman law that allows a person to draw water from a well or spring on someone else's property. This right is often referred to as aquaehaustus. The easement also implies a right-of-way to the well.

Example: If a farmer has a well on their property, but their neighbor does not, the neighbor may have the right to draw water from the well under the haustus servitude. This means that the neighbor can use the well to get water for their own use, but they cannot take the water away from the property.

Explanation: This example illustrates how haustus works in practice. The neighbor has the right to use the well, but they cannot take the water away from the property. This means that they cannot sell the water or use it for commercial purposes. The easement also implies a right-of-way to the well, which means that the neighbor has the right to access the well to draw water.
