Minimum Rise for a Stream
My main pond is going to be slightly downhill from where I now plan to put
my veggie filter. The grade is noticeable but not extreme. I don't have measurements yet, but I hope to as soon as the yard is a bit drier or warmer. Anyway, if after excavation things are close to level, I am worried about the stream. Is there a minimum grade difference or rise required for a stream to look natural and flow easily? -- BenignVanilla tibetanbeefgarden.com x-no-archive: yes Remove MY SPLEEN to email me. |

Is there a minimum grade difference or rise required for a stream to look natural and flow easily? Welcome to the group. All I can say really is that their is no formula on this but in the wilds streams flow at different rates. I have a two small streams. The biggest connects my indoor greenhouse pond with my `top pond`. Because this is an add-on, the inlet and outlet are of a simular height so it flows just to unfill itself. My other stream is smaller and with less width. It flows faster into a waterfall. -- SEE YER.. IAN P. GARDNER SOUTH ENGLAND ISLE OF WIGHT. www.gardner44.freeserve.co.uk |
