A method for providing artificial basins, swimming pools, and the like, which consists in - excavating the basin, according to the design specifications; - arranging on the entire surface of the basin, excavated previously in the ground, a first layer of non-woven fabric; - arranging the equipment and the piping for feeding and draining water on the first layer of non-woven fabric; - distributing on the first layer of non-woven fabric and on the overlying equipment and piping a second layer constituted by a mixture of water, calcareous-siliceous binding agent, sand with low particle size value, and acrylic resin in a percentage that is variable between 1% and 10% with respect to the calcareous binding agent, adapted to render said second layer suitable for the optimum adhesion of additional layers for covering it, the water being the most abundant component of the mixture in order to ensure the maximum fluidity of said mixture; - distributing a third layer, which is at least partially impermeable, constituted by a mixture of water, calcareous-siliceous binding agent, sand with low particle size value, and acrylic resin, in a percentage that is variable between 1% and 10% with respect to the calcareous binding agent, fibers of silica, glass, and the like, having a length comprised between 1.0 cm and 6 cm, and material that can be shaped with a low relative density preferably chosen from cork chips, granules of expanded polymeric material, and the like; - after the consolidation of said third layer, proceeding to shaping the surface thereof with abrasive tools and instruments, until it is rendered fully even and compliant with the design standards; - spreading at least one fourth layer (9, 10), constituted by a mixture of water, calcareous-siliceous binding agent, sand with low particle size value, acrylic resin in a percentage that is variable between 1% and 10% with respect to the calcareous binding agent, and at least one structural mesh made of fiber of silica or glass or the like, with at least unidirectional mechanical properties; - spreading a fifth waterproof layer, constituted by a mixture of water, light-colored calcareous-siliceous binding agent, siliceous sands with low particle size value, silicone-based additives in powder form to increase the degree of surface impermeableness of the layer in a percentage that can vary between 0.1% and 1% with respect to the calcareous binding agent, acrylic resin, in a percentage that can vary between 1% and 10% with respect to the calcareous binding agent, and fibers of silica, glass, and the like, having a length comprised between 1.0 cm and 6 cm. - excavating the basin, according to the design specifications;
