    How Pondless Waterfalls Work

    A disappearing waterfall is a running and recirculating stream of water constructed in and around a grouping of natural rock features.

    1

    Underground Basin

    A hidden reservoir with a pump sits below the gravel at the base.

    2

    Water Pumped Up

    The pump pushes water up to the top of the waterfall through buried plumbing.

    3

    Cascading Down

    Water cascades over natural rocks and boulders, creating the sights and sounds of a stream.

    4

    Disappears

    Water disappears into the gravel basin below and recirculates continuously.
