bassin d'admission
Declined
Not sure if you should say le bassin d'admission du barrage or just bassin d'admission

bief amont
Declined
une alternative peut être un peu plus technique au terme "bassin d'admission" (qui reste je pense tout à fait valable)
Example sentence:
... réguler l'écoulement de la rivière pour maintenir un niveau sensiblement constant dans le bief amont.
