The author brings together those systems of hydrodynamical type that can be written as a geodesic equation on diffeomorphism groups or on extensions of diffeomorphism groups with right invariant \(L^2\) or \(H^1\) metrics. He presents their formal derivation starting from Euler's equation, the first order equation satisfied by the logarithmic derivative of a geodesic in Lie groups with right invariant metrics. For example, the equations of ideal magneto-hydrodynamics, the Burgers inviscid equation, the Korteweg-de Vries equation, etc., are discussed.
