Pondless Waterfall Basin Calculator
Estimate the water-storage capacity needed below a Pondless Waterfall. Enter the average dimensions of the stream to calculate water in motion, then compare a standard basin with a higher-capacity option. Results use PondScape AquaMatrix Small and Large modules.
Planning formula
Water in motion is calculated from the stream’s average length, width, and depth. A standard Pondless Waterfall basin holds at least two times that volume; a higher-capacity option holds three times that volume.

How to use your estimate
- Standard capacity: useful where a compact basin is appropriate.
- Higher capacity: provides more storage for projects where water retention and operating margin matter.
- Final layout: confirm actual basin dimensions, excavation, rock displacement, pump vault, plumbing, and local conditions before ordering.
