    This document summarizes five types of water turbines: Francis turbines are suitable for a wide range of water heads and flows with a simple and reliable structure; Pelton turbines are for high heads with no cavitation effects; axial flow turbines handle medium-low heads and large flows but have a complex structure; inclined jet turbines have a wide applicable head range due to the angle between the blade and turbine axes and a wide efficiency range; tubular turbines are for low heads with a compact structure and quick construction time.
