We just did one of these. Small ornamental pond, couple hundred gallons, fed by submersible pump in the lake. Turn it on, and the pond creates a literal river down the hill into the lake. Turn it off and you have a dry riverbed. Works either way. Planted bog plants all around it, looks incredible.

Hell, I get downvoted to crap in the subs I usually participate in, then I end up here with hobbyists and I'm appreciated!! I'll take some pics and DM you eventually.
