I want to set up a water feature in my front yard. I have a fountain sans pump, would add a pond. HELP!?

Question

It is a fairly large cascading corner fountain. I have no pump...yet. I would like to use it like a waterfall and connect it to a pond but have no idea how to go about this. I am tired of promises by those around me to help and if I had the correct information am pretty sure I could do this myself.
I would need to know what supplies I would need and how to set up pump etc to make it work the way I am picturing it. I need the soothing sound of running water close to me and it would also bring the wildlife within view. Making a wildlife habitat on the little piece that is mine to work with.
I would like to thank everyone who will contribute to this question

Check out this website for information on starting the pond and adding a pump. It has all the basics. http://www.hgtv.com/hgtv/gl_design_water_features/article/0,1785,HGTV_3575_4274967,00.html

Talk to someone at your local hardware store (in the garden center) about the supplies you'll need. Get a second opinion from another store. Write everything down and look at what seems resonable (so you're not just buying to spend money).
