I'm interested in haivng a 15-25 foot long stream running into a small 5 foot or so pond. Is there a "kit" which would work best for what I'm trying to accomplish. I already have the decorative rock that I will be using. Any input would be greatly appreciated!

First I would like to welcome you to this forum.

You can use an epdm rubber liner for the under stream bed.
What equipment are you planning?
On my site I have 10 calculators that you can use.
The waterfall calculator can figure the size pump that you may require.
I should include the words stream or brook so that visitors know that the calculator is one and the same.
So for waterfall width it would be streem width.

You may have a lot of questions in regards to your project.
There are many people on this forum that can help.

Just make sure that if you are going to use EPDM for your base, that your overlaps have a drop so your water does not get sucked out by capillary action.

Thanks for the welcome and the advice you both offered. I saw a lot of information about "waterfalls" but I wasn't quick to link that it also meant a stream or brook....makes sense.

Looks like I really need to plan for the length and width as well as the elevation drop the stream will take to get to the pond.

Thanks again

Mike
