Reference Books
- Applied Hydrology (McGraw Hill)
- Elementary Hydrology (Prentice - Hall)
- Engineering Hydrology - K Subramanya (Tata McGraw Hill)
Out of the three, the most recommended book by Prof. Chandranath Chatterjee is the 3rd one, i.e. Engineering Hydrology by K Subramanya. There are other adaptations of the book by other authors (Manish Kumar Goyal) which is more user-friendly and has additonal problems to pracitise too.
