VERY GOOD BOOK FOR A BEGINNER OR FOR A DESIGNER OF SMALL PLANTS 4 out of 5 stars.
9 of 10 people found this review helpful.
I'm a civil engineer involved in the design of large hydropower plants.
This book is a complete guide on the design of a micro-hydropower scheme, particularly well suited if the scheme is located in a developing country.
The books cover all subjects ranging from the preliminary studies to the final design of the civil works and of the EM equipment to the maintenance works.
It is well written and full of photos and examples.
Please buy it if you're involved in the design of small hydropower.
The only small suggestion I can do to the author is to introduce some more calculation examples.
Not for personal use 1 out of 5 stars.

This is not what I was looking for. This is a Book for someone who is putting in hydro for a small town or village, not a personal use.
Editorial Review:
This book has grown from Intermediate Technology's field experiences with micro-hydro installations and covers operation and maintenance, commissioning, electrical power, induction generators, electronic controllers, management, and energy surveys.
