Building a Simple Indoor Waterfall

Things Needed

• Container
• Submersible pump
• Weir
• Water tubing

Procedure

The first requirement is creative thinking. Think how well can you use the decorative items that you have in hand. In case of any difficulty, buy an instruction kit that is readily available in the market. Take a large container that is big enough to hold the decorative items, a submersible pump, and all the inner workings of the fountain, and keep them all submerged inside the water. Weir is a low dam kind of a wall that accumulates the water from the pump. It allows water to flow through the container of the fountain. Attach the pump, and weir with the help of tubing. When the weir gets full with water, it releases the water into a container. Make sure you hide the weir under miscellaneous decorative items, keeping in mind that it has to create a soothing atmosphere. Just plug in the pump and watch the beauty of the small waterfall.
