Default pondless waterfall

make it big enough that evaporation wont have you filling the thing all the time.
also, put the pump into a bucket with filter material so teh pump doesnt get clogged
from debris etc. that falls in. Ingrid

really all you need is a water tight seal under where the water will fall, a
pump, rocks, pebbles, and some screen or heavy plastic grating. dig a hole
that will hold the pump. line the hole or put a plastic container in it.
depending on the size you have in mind you might put cement blocks or bricks
around the edges that will be the ledge to put the screen on. put in pump
with tubing for carrying water and water. cover with screen or grate.
cover grate with pebbles. build rocks up with tubing running up center.
have end of tube positioned so that the water will be directed to down rocks
and fall back down into container.

Does anyone know how to build one of the pondless waterfalls or know
where I can get plans for one? I have only seen pictures at various
web sites. Also is there a good site that tells how to make a
waterfall with a pond, I am just looking at my options.
