早期研究水力學的包括古希臘的發明家希羅（Hero of Alexandria）及克特西比烏斯(Ctesibius)，不過他們對於實際應用的研究較少。古代居住在斯里蘭卡的僧伽羅人就已經開始應用水力學的原理。在二千年前他們就利用 valve tower(valve pit ??)來調節水流。在一世紀時就已經完成幾個大型的灌溉系統。當時的斯里蘭卡也有提供家庭園藝及農業的水力系統、也有相關的排水系統、水土保持，水力也用在裝飾、娛樂及冷卻系統中。
One of the founders of modern hydraulics was Benedetto Castelli, a student of Galileo Galilei.
Fluid mechanics provides the theoretical foundation for hydraulics, which focuses on the engineering uses of fluid properties. Hydraulic topics range through most science and engineering disciplines, and cover concepts such as pipe flow, dam design, fluid control circuitry, pumps, turbines, hydropower, computational fluid dynamics, flow measurement, river channel behavior and erosion.
