Page 4: Streambed Construction
S T RE A MBE D C O N ST RU CTI ON Using proper streambed construction techniques can limit the transitional water needed to fill the streambed and enables the system to function optimally. Transitional water is determined by the height that the weir rock extends above the liner at the spillway opening. Maintaining the shortest distance possible between the top of the weir rock and the liner is a crucial component to a properly functioning water garden. -

ECH O C HAM B E R IN S TALLATI ON The Echo Chamber patented design enables it to hold three times more water in the same amount of space as traditional gravel basins. The Echo Chamber is also modular. Multiple Echo Chambers can be plumbed together to increase water volume (for longer streambeds), or to increase the basins width (for wider waterfalls). - Page 10 Leave at least 4” of liner between the hole and the outside walls. Place the grate(s) on top of the support tubes, sandwiching the liner. Any water that splashes inside the liner ring will be funneled back into the chamber (Figure 12).
