ABSTRACT:
A water storing dam body with means for directing a water flow therethrough includes one or more hydromotive assemblies suspended adjacent said dam water directing means. Each hydromotive assembly comprises a unitary assembly including an energy generation unit associated with a machine hall and buoyancy means regulatable to suspend the hydromotive assembly in operative position without imposing stresses upon the structural body of the dam due to its weight. Disposed downstream of the dam body, adjacent each water directing means, is a diffuser which is either fully or partly embodied as an integral portion of the dam body.
