How to build a waterfall



No, not this one, a waterfall for your pond.

When building a waterfall, stacking the rocks with spaces between them makes the falls louder. There is a echo effect. If it's done properly, waterfall noise can wake up the neighbors. Just be careful that the water coming over the falls ends up in the pond, not on the ground or you could pump your pond dry in a few hours. Most of the dangerous drops in water level are caused by waterfalls where rocks have been placed improperly or have shifted.

I changed the link. It now goes to the entire backyard pond category. Scroll down a little and you will find "how to build a waterfall." Thanks for pointing this out. I have some questions to ask and some editing to do.
