Absolute Guide To Garden Ponds And Waterfalls For Beginners Novices

GARDEN POND WATERFALLS ARE OFTEN VIEWED AS THE PINNACLE DEIGN FEATURE OF A POND PROJECT, AND RIGHTLY SO! A PROPERLY BUILT POND WATERFALL HAS A WAY OF TRANSFORMING A LIFELESS BODY OF WATER INTO A VIBRANT STREAM, FULL OF LIFE AND ACTIVITY. NOT ONLY ARE GARDEN POND WATERFALLS PLEASING TO LOOK AT, BUT ALSO THE SOUND OF FALLING WATER HAS LONG BEEN ASSOCIATED WITH RELAXATION AND A WAY TO EASE THE MIND. IF YOU LIVE IN THE CITY, A WATER GARDEN WATERFALL CAN BE AN EXCELLENT WAY TO HELP CUT OUT SOME OF THE BACKGROUND NOISE OF YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD. APART FROM THE OBVIOUS VISUAL AND AUDIBLE BENEFITS OF GARDEN POND WATERFALLS, ANOTHER BENEFIT IS THE WATER AERATION A WATERFALL PROVIDES. AS THE WATER FALLS THROUGH THE AIR AND INTO THE POND BELOW, AIR, AND THEREFORE OXYGEN, IS FORCED INTO THE WATER. HIGH OXYGEN LEVELS ARE BENEFICIAL FOR NUMEROUS REASONS. THE FIRST REASON IS THAT ALGAE HAS A HARDER TIME GROWING IN WATER HIGH IN OXYGEN. A SECOND REASON IS FISH AND OTHER ANIMALS THRIVE IN WATER THAT IS HIGH IN OXYGEN. IF YOU ARE ALREADY GOING TO THE WORK OF ADDING POND PUMPS TO PUMP YOUR WATER THROUGH VARIOUS FILTRATION DEVICES, THEN WHY NOT TAKE THE EXTRA STEP AND PUMP THE WATER UP A FEW FEET TO CREATE A BEAUTIFUL FLOWING WATERFALL?
