Abstract
An apparatus for generating a stream in a body of water has at least one cylinder installed under water, and a water-jet pump housed in the cylinder. The pump draws water in through one end of the cylinder and produces a stream of water accelerated by a driving fluid supplied from an external source. The stream is discharged through another end of the cylinder to promote a flow in the body of water.
