  L’eau qui retourne à la rivière en aval du barrage ne doit pas avoir la possibilité de creuser ou d’éroder ni le lit de la rivière, ni d’affecter la fondation du barrage par effet decavitation. Ainsi, des plans d’eau, appelés bassins de rétention, sont prévus pour réduire la vitesse de l’eau, et donc son énergie cinétique. Ces bassins constituent unélément majeur du barrage. Le bassin en tablier et le bassin à chocs sont des structures courantes, permettant de diminuer l’énergie élevée de la chu...
