Excerpt from Water Power Engineering: The Theory, Investigation and Development of Water Powers
Air and water, both physical agents most essential to life, have al ways been the most obvious sources Of potential energy and have each been utilized for power purposes since the earliest times. Be side the Nile, the Euphrates, and the Yellow Rivers, thousands Of years ago the primitive hydraulic engineer planned and constructed his simple forms of current wheels and utilized the energy of the river current to raise its waters and irrigate the otherwise arid wastes into fertility. Such primitive wheels were also utilized for the grinding Of corn and other simple power purposes. From these simple forms and primitive applications have gradually been de veioped the modern water power installations of to-day.
