No, you definitely don't want water under your liner. Our neighbors' back yard drains directly into our front. If it floods, it makes the liner float. We had to add drainage and an outlet where we can drop a small pump in, if it gets bad. Fortunately that's only happened a few times, but it's a pain in the tush.

I think you made great progress, and I really like the pattern of your waterfall! It's going to take some tweaking to get it the way you want it, but it will be worth it in the end.
BTW, here's a picture of my babies. I only have 2 large koi left after the debacle last season----I used to buy babies every year, but I skipped several years because I had severasl many 10 -18 inchers, so it's going to be a while before I have big guys again. I also need to find a source for shibunkin goldfish, as they all got old and died, too. Most of them lasted about 12-15 years.
