How to Build Indoor Rock Waterfalls
An indoor rock waterfall can be built to match the decor of your indoor living space and will also give your home a little piece of tranquility. Despite what some may think, an indoor rock waterfall can be built quite easily out of only a few materials. You will have to base the materials that will be used on your decor, such as the container you will use for the catch basin and what the waterfall weir will look like.

1
Pick a spot in your home for your rock waterfall. This location can be anywhere you'd like. Remember that water can splash out from your waterfall, so the location must be a place that you don't mind getting a little damp from time to time. Avoid overfilling the catch basin to keep the splashing to a minimum.

Place the container you plan to use for the catch basin in your desired location. The container can be ceramic, metal or even a decorative bowl. The material doesn't matter, as long as it is water resistant. Place the submersible pump into the container and connect the water line to it.

Place the waterfall weir into the basin. A weir is a wall or structure from which the water falls, and can be found at online retailers such as Amazon or any home store. Choose a style that suits the decor of your indoor waterfall. Once you've placed the weir into the basin, connect the other end of the water line to it.

Place the rocks into the basin so that they discreetly cover the submersible pump and the water line. Place rocks on the weir as well, giving your waterfall a natural look.

Fill the basin with water and plug in the submersible pump. Enjoy your new indoor rock waterfall!
