Imigozi y'amazi, nubwo ari mito, ni imigozi y'ingenzi ikoreshwa mu modoka, imashini, imiyoboro y'amazi n'imiyoboro y'amazi ku isi yose. Mu kinyejana gishize, imiterere, imiterere n'imikorere byazo byarahindutse cyane kugira ngo bihuze n'amahame yo mu nganda, biramba cyane kandi imikorere igoye kurushaho.
Mu ntangiriro z'ikinyejana cya 20, imiyoboro y'amazi yari yoroshye kandi ishaje. Inyinshi muri zo zari zikozwe mu cyuma cyoroshye cyangwa insinga z'umuringa, zishingiye ku gucuranga intoki kugira ngo zifashe imiyoboro. Zatangaga umuvuduko utaringaniye, imiyoboro yangirika byoroshye kandi ntizikoraga neza iyo zishyushye cyangwa zigahinda. Izi moderi z'ibanze zakoreraga gusa ku bikoresho bidafite umuvuduko mwinshi kandi bidakenewe cyane.
Mu myaka ya 1920 habaye impinduka zikomeye aho hagaragaye uburyo bwo gufunga imiyoboro y'imodoka. Imiterere yayo ya screw na band byatumye habaho gukandana gukomeye no koroshya kuyihindura. Yahise iba igishushanyo mbonera cy’ingenzi kandi yafashije iterambere ryihuse ry’inganda z’imodoka.
Kuva mu myaka ya 1950 kugeza mu myaka ya 1980, ibyasabwaga mu buhanga byateje imbere udushya twinshi. Imigozi yo mu matwi, imigozi ya T-bolt n'imigozi ya V-band byavutse kugira ngo bikoreshwe ahantu hakomeye, hashyuha cyane kandi hakonje. Ibikoresho byavuye mu byuma bisanzwe bijya mu byuma bitajegajega, bituma habaho kurwanya ingese no kumara igihe kinini bikoreshwa.
Mu myaka ya vuba aha, igishushanyo mbonera cy’imiyoboro y’amazi cyarushijeho kuba cyiza kandi cyihariye. Abakora ibikoresho bashyizeho imiyoboro ihoraho, impande zitagaragara neza n’imiterere y’imiyoboro isohora vuba. Imiyoboro igezweho yoroheje, yizewe kandi ijyanye n’imodoka zikoresha amashanyarazi, sisitemu nshya z’ingufu n’imiterere mibi y’ibinyabutabire.
Muri iki gihe, imigozi y'imiyoboro ntabwo ikiri imigozi yoroshye ahubwo ni ibice by'ingenzi byakozwe mu rwego rw'umutekano no kunoza. Iterambere ryabyo ry'igihe kirekire rigaragaza iterambere mu bumenyi bw'ibikoresho, imiterere y'inganda n'inganda mpuzamahanga. Uko ikoranabuhanga rikomeza gutera imbere, imiterere y'imigozi y'imiyoboro izakomeza gutera imbere kugira ngo ishyigikire inganda nyinshi mu buryo bwizewe kandi burambye.
