Build a Stream
TIP!
Keep the water in your system
When a waterfall or streambed becomes clogged with debris or ice, water
may overflow from the liner and drain the entire water feature. To prevent
overflow, provide enough depth to the waterfall and stream so water level is
at least 6” below the top edge of the liner (the deeper the better).
