In the paper steady symmetric gravity water waves on finite depth with constant vorticity and a monotone surface profile between crests and troughs are considered. The author reduces the original inhomogeneous problem to a homogeneous one where the vorticity appears only at the boundary. This is realized by explicitly recovering the stream function from the vertical velocity, the surface, and the vorticity. As a consequence, a closed representation formula for a general class of water waves is given, and a method for determining the surface from the vertical velocity is presented.
