Novak P., Moffat A.I.B., Nalluri C., Narayanan R. Hydraulic Structures

3rd edition,
2001. The main aim of the book, i.e. to provide a text for final year undergraduate and for postgraduate students, remains the same as for the previous two editions; we also hope that researchers, designers and operators of the many types of structures covered in the book will continue to find the text of interest and a stimulating, up-to-date reference source.Dam engineering
