Water source in the house is one of the most essential components. Therefore its location has to be ascertained according to Vaastu principles. Water signifies planet moon as per astrology and the placement should be made in conformity with the appropriate planetary combinations as well. Because of the prevalence of Ultra violet region in the North-East corner of the plot, water body is most preferred in this corner only. However, North-East corner is prescribed direction for underground water source only and not for overhead water tank. The overhead water source or water tank should be placed in South-West corner of the house on the roof. In this context, it is important to mention here that even the outlet of used water should also be from the North-East corner itself. East and North directions are also favorable for the outlet of used water in a house as per Vaastu principles.
Although any water body either tube well or boring or pond is prescribed in this corner but it should not be exactly in the corner rather in either side of the triangle formed by the lines connecting South-West of the plot to North-East and South-West of the house to North-East, this is known as Kona Sutra and this should be followed.
- Water source in North-East corner brings all sorts of comforts and luxuries to the factory owner. It results in all round success for the family.
- Apart from North-East corner, North and East directions are also good for the water source as North placement will bring wealth and East placement will make him successful.
- Water source in South-East corner means imposition of Water element in the Fire zone. It will result in evaporation of water and dominance of Fire element in the factory. Resultant effect will be bad for the well being of the females. Internal quarrel and health problems will be reflected in this situation.
- South placement of water source signifies the depth in South direction. We know that South direction is sink direction where Jaivik Urja gets depleted because of depth. That is the reason for keeping it at high level. This has very serious implications for the females of the house. She will be perpetually ill for some reason or the other. Most of the money saved by the family will get wasted on the medical bills for the females. It will also have a negative effect on the social prestige of the owner.
- The water source in South-West corner is the most fatal defect as far as the placement of water source is concerned. It will have all the negative effects which one can imagine ranging from failures, loss of son, death of the master, disrepute to joblessness. So this placement should be avoided at any cost. In astrological sense it represents the most inauspicious combination of Rahu with Moon, which forms Grahan Yoga for the house. It will eclipse all the virtues of a good house. This corner is a junction of both the sink directions of Jaivik Urja and Pranik Urja.
- Water source in the West direction is another bad placement for it. West being the direction for planet Saturn and its combination with Moon will result in excessive expenditure and undue delay in recovery of dues. It is also a direction for social prestige, so the water body in this area will eventually dilute the prestige of the owner.
- Water source in North-West though placed in the area of Moon itself, will invite problems related to neighbors and well wishers. Otherwise it is not a very bad placement for the water source.
- It should be noted that water body includes all forms of water sources like tube well, pond, municipality water pipelines, rivers and even posters and paintings depicting rivers, fountains, and ocean can also be used inside the house in North East corner for the same purpose.
