Water Power Development

The best book ever written on the subject of hydropower engineering by Prof. Dr. Emil Mosonyi (Germany).

The book comprises three volumes, Volume-I for low head hydropower and Volume-II (II-A & II-B) for high head hydropower.

The book is rarely found in digital form. I have scanned the Volume-II (part A & B) and placed it on a famous sharing website.
