United Staes. National Center for Appropriate Technology. Micro-hydro Power: Reviewing an Old Concept. Montana: National Center for Appropriate Technology, 1979.

This book talked about micro-hydro projects, and how someone could build their own micro-project. It was good because it talked about the conditions that you need to build a hydro-electric power project of any size, and how to adapt to the conditions that are in place. It was bad because it talked mostly about micro-projects, so it was kind of hard to determine what applied to hydroprojects of a larger scale. This book assisted my research because it gave me information about the turbines, and a basic description of how they work.
