Default Waterfall

I like to make a small waterfall. Are there any diagrams I can find?
Any help would be appreciated.


Think of a waterfall as a river with a steep drop. The first question to ask
is How high a waterfall are we talking about? Second how much waterflow?

At the simplest level, take 2 whiskey barrel halves and liners. Buy one
liner that has a spout/lip. Place one on a platform of some kind (cinder
blocks, bricks, etc) dump it into the lower level. Pipe brings it back up to
the higher level.

There are performed plastic waterfall boxes that you can place next to a
splash pool to create a small waterfall. Or just use a pond liner and some
concrete to form whatever waterfall shape you want. Just remember to put
some large rocks to the left and right of the waterfall to prevent the
splashes from soaking the ground.

Good luck.
