How much water volume do I need for my pond?

It takes approximately 36 gallons per minute to make a waterfall 1′ wide x 1″ deep (1″ deep water is considered an average depth for residential applications). The first step in determining how much water you need is to multiply the width of the waterfall in feet x 36 = gallons per minute needed to make 1″ thick water over your falls.

Example: A 3′ wide waterfall would need 108 gallons per minute to be 1″ thick.
