Description
Hydropower Engineering Handbook is organized around an interdisciplinary "team approach" to
successful hydropower development. It gives mechanical and civil engineers, as well as
environmental scientists, in-depth overviews of essential hydropower processes and technologies.
Readers can find pertinent information and data outside their particular disciplines, allowing them to
make more effective contributions to their ongoing hydropower projects.
