It is possible to arrange garden reservoir differently. Here it is possible to place containers with the blossoming water-lilies or to start decorative small fishes. But more fascinating it will become if reservoir to equip with special illumination.

Illumination for reservoirs can be 2 types: underwater and surface. But anyway such reservoir will look as true piece of art.

Illumination over water

For these purposes use lamps which will light water smooth surface from coast or directly from water surface. Those devices which light pond from the coast can be with the sharpened end which is just stuck to the earth, or on support which fastens in the normal way. Lamps which float on reservoir surface usually have the form of sphere and can be different color. Such lamps look quite romantically. Besides, it is possible to get various figures in the form of animals or even stones, with the lamps which are built in them. They will naturally look, located on coast of reservoir. Surface lamps can work both from network, and from solar batteries. 

Illumination under water

Such lighting demands more thorough training and more skillful approach. The rays of light passing under water visually increase the reservoir sizes. Such pond looks mysterious. The plants or small fishes living in such reservoir get special outlines. But, that the desirable result from underwater illumination has turned out, depth of reservoir should not exceed 1 m, otherwise rays of light will not be able just to break through through thickness of water. Upon purchase of underwater lamps it is important to pay attention to integrity of the body to exclude possibility of the unpleasant moments at connection of system to electricity. Tension given to lamps should not be higher than 12 V. Osnova of underwater lamps there can be halogen lamps, optical fiber or LEDs.  

What illumination you would not choose, it is necessary to understand that on surface of pond there should be no garbage. Otherwise, no illumination will hide it, and will make, on the contrary, more visible.
