Intake tower

Intake tower connected to the shore with a service bridge at the Boondooma Dam, Australia

An intake tower or outlet tower[1] is a vertical tubular structure with one or more openings used for capturing water from reservoirs and conveying it further to a hydroelectric or water-treatment plant.

Unlike spillways, intake towers are intended for the reservoir's regular operation, conveying clean, debris-free water for further use.
