A hydraulic structure is a structure submerged or partially submerged in any body of water, which disrupts the natural flow of water. An example of a hydraulic structure would be a dam, which slows the normal flow rate of the river in order to power turbines. Kindly check the below-mentioned best reference books and textbooks on Dams and Hydraulic Structures.
The principle of building hydraulic structures is to either divert, disrupt, store or completely stop the natural flow of water bodies.
