However, if there is no such slope on the site, then you can do with a plain place. 2. After you have chosen a place, come up with a stream layout, if possible, draw a drawing. 3. After the drawing is made, you can start making a stream bed. To do this, you need to choose the material from which you will build a channel, it can be a film or concrete. 4. Now that the bed for the stream is made, gently free it from the dirt and get a good drill. 5. If you used a film for the box, then it is best to make a sand substrate in it. The thickness of the substrate should be about five centimeters. Plastic should be placed on this pillow. After, it remains to cut the film and put it in the finished course, so that the folds do not appear. 6. If you used concrete to form a box, then it is better to make a sand pillow with a thickness of 25-30 centimeters. The thickness of the concrete in this case should be about fifteen centimeters. 7.
