A wave or tide powered apparatus 1 comprises a storage container 2 for impounding water and lifting water. The container 2 is attached to one end of a pivoted lever (see-saw) 4, with a weighted float 3 attached to the other end. When the float 3 is lifted due to increased water level, the container 2 is lowered into the water so that it is filled. When the water level is reduced, the weighted float 3 falls, lifting the container 2 above the water level. Water is then allowed to flow through the outlet 2b to drive a water wheel.
