FIELD: construction, hydrotechnical engineering.
SUBSTANCE: invention is related to water supply and may be used in systems of water supply from surface sources, where usually water levels fluctuations are observed for a period of time, for instance in the period of spring floods, low water. Water-receiving structure for water intake from surface sources comprises water-receiving chamber with water-receiving windows, suction chamber with first lift pumps. Water-receiving structure is arranged in the form of float with air chamber in lower part of water-receiving structure and is fixed to vertical guide supports with the help of annular couplings.
EFFECT: invention makes it possible to improve operational properties of water-receiving structure for water intake from surface sources.
