Architectura Hydraulica is a comprehensive treatise on hydraulic engineering, written by Bernard Forest de Belidor and originally published in 1764. The book covers a wide range of topics related to hydraulic engineering, including the design and construction of water supply systems, water wheels, pumps, and hydraulic machines. The text is divided into three main sections: the first section covers the principles of hydraulics, including the properties of water and the laws of fluid mechanics. The second section focuses on the design and construction of hydraulic machines, including water wheels, pumps, and turbines. The third section covers the construction of water supply systems, including aqueducts, fountains, and irrigation systems.Throughout the book, De Belidor provides detailed descriptions and illustrations of the various hydraulic devices and systems he discusses. He also includes practical advice on the construction and maintenance of these systems, as well as discussions of the economic and social benefits of hydraulic engineering.Architectura Hydraulica was a groundbreaking work in the field of hydraulic engineering, and it remains an important reference for engineers and historians today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
