This list contains the titles of 75 books written in Portuguese about Hydrology, Water Resources, Hydraulics, Fluid Mechanics and other related subjects. It’s evident that there are many other titles, but due to personal constraints, I decided to catalog only these seventy-five books. I’d just like to add the following four warnings.
1. They are all books written in Portuguese. 2. They are in alphabetic order. 3. The sites in which they can be bought are written only in
Portuguese. 4. At this very moment, R$ 1.00 = US$ 0.59.
