How to Make an Indoor Waterfall

There are times when travel isn't possible to a waterfall or a place around lots of water. The peacefulness and tranquility of a water can be replicated in the home, in an office, or even in a car with an indoor waterfall.

Difficulty: Moderate

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Water
• Basin
• Stones
• Sheet plastic
• Electric water pump
• Plastic tubing

1. Determine the flow rate of the electric water pump. This will determine the minimum amount of water that will be needed to keep water flowing through the pump at all times.

2. Select or create a basin that is deeper than the volume of water needed and that can hold the plastic sheet down which the water will fall. At this time, it is also important to note that ridges in the plastic sheet will allow water to take longer to fall back into the basin, providing for a more tranquil flow rate.

3. Place electric water pump into basin or outside of basin as specified by the manufacturer of the pump. Connect plastic tubing as necessary.

4. Place the sheet plastic into the basin. It can either be mounted vertically or at an angle. Discretely place plastic tubing at the top.

5. Add stones to the basin. If desired and able to do so, place stones on the plastic sheet that serves as the waterfall.

6. Plug in and test waterfall.

Tips & Warnings

• Check water level periodically. Water does evaporate over time.
• Consider making a discrete marking in the basin for a minimum water level to maintain
• Read instructions for water pump carefully to avoid the possibility of electric shock.
