Great all-around book for ideas and concepts
If you're in the planning stages of building your pond, waterfall or stream, this is a great book to get. Filled with great pictures and number of great ideas, you're likely to find something that suits your plan and your yard. This book covers everything from minor water features to huge waterfalls, and formal watergardens to natural mountain streams and waterfalls. There are better books with step by step guides for when you need the details, but you can't beat this one for concepts and general plans. I've already made several modifications to my original plans thanks to the suggestions and ideas in this book. Just about every aspect of construction is addressed in this book; site selection, materials, installation, and maintenance. If you're planning any water feature, this book is a must so you can be informed of what you're in for! There is also a reference page containing 20 different pond businesses so you can surf the net to price materials and get even more ideas. ... show more

My Husband Like This Book
He's been working on a stream/waterfall for two years. He found some good advice in this book.

Good Book
This was a good book in general. Lots of pictures, inspiration for your own project, very good detail about a lot of things. I was hoping for a little more depth in talking about the equipment needed to run a pond, but maybe I set my expectations too high. I was also hoping for a little more guidance about concrete ponds. All in all, thumbs up. ... show more

Most complete and detailed book for creating Ponds and Streams
Good book. Pictures are good and the descriptions and details from the creation of Ponds, Streams and Waterfalls is the most complete of all the books that I have purchased or read. It could do a little better job of describing how to integrate a Bog Garden with a Pond. I still have questions about that. Overall the best of the breed. ... show more

Incomplete
Usually Otho books are so good. This one is so-so. It is packed with information and drawings, pictures, ideas and so on. So if you are new to this and you want to get up to speed on types of ponds, concepts etc then fine, this is a great book. If you want to install a successful pond -- and you should start with the notion that this is actually very difficult -- then this book is not up to the task. What is needed is a chapter that shows you step by step how to plan, and then build a complete pond system, showing step by step each element, how they are connected and come together FOR THE SAME POND. They do a fine job of showing the elements but it doesn't all come together. It would be like a book on electrical systems that tells you everything you want to know about electricity, switches, boxes and junctions but doesn't tell you how to plan and install an electrical system. An update would be awesome. ... show more

Great Guide
Planning to build a waterfall this summer with tips from this awesome guide. It may be a little older and the pricing a little off, but the instructions and pictures are very informative and we are looking forward to referencing it in the next few months.

ok for some ideas
this book is laid out very nicely. It contains a lot of hints, tips, instructions, etc. Maybe too advanced for a beginner though.
