Decorative reservoirs in the country

Decorative reservoirs on the cottage play the role of a place for rest of the whole family and visually ennoble the appearance of the site. The standard option is a man-made pond. Brook and waterfall are complex structures. They require a lot of time, effort and additional costs for electricity and equipment. The fountain, as well as the stream, is a very complex structure. For him it is necessary to have a house of impressive sizes and strictly observe the geometric arrangement of paths and landings. It is rather difficult to harmoniously enter such structures into space. That's why when planning reservoirs in the country, many of us prefer the pond.

The lake, arranged on the site, should enhance the attractiveness and appropriateness of architectural structures, as well as fit them in size and style. To strengthen the romantic mood, use natural forms, irregular and correct contours. It is necessary to inscribe the pond in the general view of the plot in such a way that it gives the impression that it is real and has always been exactly at the place where it is now. In the case when stones are used to decorate a reservoir, it is necessary to select their rock in accordance with the geological features of the terrain. In addition, they must have a different size and shape.

When placing water in the dacha, you should think about the lighting of the place on which they are located and their depth. Aquatic plants, planted in the shade, may never be blossomed. They also need lighting, like earth flowers and shrubs. Direct sunlight should not fall on the water more than six hours a day, so it is wise to have a future lake. Choosing its depth, do not need to think that a pond with a small volume is worse.

Deep construction requires high costs and is not suitable for all plants. Exceeding the level of their placement, it will be necessary to use special stands. Fish living in the water will not be visible at all. But a pond with a small volume has one important drawback. If its depth does not reach eighty centimeters, it will be necessary to drain water for the winter period, since it will freeze to the bottom, thereby damaging the artificial structure.

It is worth placing special equipment at the dacha to maintain the quality of water at the proper level. Specialists calculate the filtration system, taking into account the features of the reservoir, and allow creating the most suitable conditions for its inhabitants. Otherwise, water will start to get dirty after a while. In order to clean the summer cisterns, there is a mass of means.

The most relevant is the use of biological filters. They prevent the growth of algae, so that the reservoirs in the cottage will not be clouded. In addition, you can use special peat without chemical additives. It is designed to soften and lighten the water, reduce the acidity and does not allow the algae to grow. A more complex solution to the problem of pollution is the use of an underwater vacuum cleaner, which is installed next to the pond. It clears the bottom of various sediments and sediments. The reservoirs in the country house, photos of which are located above, were created in compliance with the basic rules, and therefore look attractive, harmoniously combined with the appearance of the site.
