If you need high falls, then pipe end from which water will arrive has to be located on the eminence from where at a small angle water will flow down. It is necessary in order that water was not strongly sprayed. If you want to make low falls with small ledge, then water has to go up.

2. For the device of falls it is necessary to make special point for water exit. Take fitting, make drill several openings with a diameter of 2 mm and solder this stub full of holes one pipe end. On this pipe install the crane, and the crane by means of one more pipe to the existing water supply system. The place for the crane choose imperceptible.

3. Block the crane of water supply and cut in water supply system. If pipe plastic, and metal water pipe, then attach pipe of falls through fitting T-coupler.

4. Both the crane, and all pipes which conduct to falls have to be disguised by plants, soil or stones. Before finally fixing water exit point, change pipe tilt angle to define optimum situation.

6. As much as possible to beat effect of falls, arrange several ledges through each 20-30 cm. On height, the falls can be from 30 to 1.5 meters. To do above or below sense is not present. Ledges are made of natural stone or plastic imitations. It is the best of all to use the same stones which decorate coast of reservoir for falls. Before ledges make hollows in which water will be late. It's very beautiful.

7. On all way of falls from pipe to reservoir arrange waterproofing course that water did not get to the soil and did not destroy it. For the rest the organization of falls is similar to the organization of artificial reservoir: also at first remove soil, condense dredging, stack layer of waterproofing material and mask all this natural materials.
