Water Storage Sump Bore Well Vastu | Vastu Source Water Body | Vastu for Underground Water Tank

Which Location is Best Suitable for Water Sump

Water sump best suitable place is Northeast or East or North directions. The best alignment placement for the Water sump is Eastern Northeast, the second-best is Northern Northeast. Water sump towards East ( get more info on complete information on East direction ) or North (know about what are all precautions of North Facing House Vastu) is also considered to be auspicious. The Northeast quadrant water sump was always known to be a healthy feature.

Where exactly we have to dig the Water bore well in our house, Which place is suitable for the water body source, Vastu for the underground water tank, most of the doubts may have been answered here.

A Water Bore Well or water sump or Water Tank or Pit (Water Body or Water source) should be dug (we will also discuss earth wire pit or earth wire well)after performing proper pooja's. Deep wells are considered good.

The water available in a deep well will be pure and rich in minerals. The slow-moving water body or fountain in front of the house is very auspicious.

It is a Vastu principle that well should be in the Northeast (study is all Northeast facing homes are beneficial) of every house. That may be the eastern northeast or the Northern Northeast. Utmost caution should be shown in regard to well or bore well. The shape of the well can be square or round below the ground, but it should be round on the surface.

If it is a square, one of the four angles will cause a thrust to the house. The shape of the platform of the well should be less elevated than the plinth level of the house and ground level of the area in the Southwest. The platform should not touch the Eastern or Northern compound walls.

Suitable Locations for Digging (Drilling) a Well

As per Vastu the water well should be planned properly. Borewell should not be dug on the diagonal line proceeding from the Northeastern corner of a house to the northeastern tip of the plot. It should be located either to the right or to the left of the line as per the availability of space in the east or north of the northeastern portion of the plot under no circumstances should a well or bore well be in the angle of the northeast.

If there is a pump set in the northeast, it should have roof. This should not touch north or east walls. If well or bore well or any pit is situated in the northern northeast the family will be happy, will prosper, and have sound finances and enjoy these benefits for many generations.

The situation of well or bore well in eastern northeast will make the master of the house famous along with bestowing the above benefits. Some sink well or bore well near the house adjoining it, thinking that it is in the northeast anyway. (This matter comes from www.subhavaastu.com) But it is wrong.

The well or bore well should be in the northeast for the entire plot or area. In some cases, there are meager chances of digging or drilling a well or bore well. In such cases, they can be had in the east. “A well in the east – all good omens feast”.

A well in the north is auspicious. Benefits will be brought forth if well in the north direction. This will bless womenfolk. See these designs of wells as per Vastu. A well or bore well in the South is strictly forbidden. It will lead to many health disturbances or financial losses or in some cases death may also be observed.

No well or bore well in the west should be there. Check about retention ponds at West directions ( know basic principles of West facing home vastu) . The resident will become diseased and incurs financial losses. A well or pit in eastern south-east will result in the ill health of the matter of the house and children.

Further, it may cause fire accidents and thefts. By a well in Southern south-east, in some homes there is a possibility of women will fall sick, incur financial losses, fall into bad habits and there will be the threat of fire accidents and thefts if the sump extends towards South from Southern Southeast. If there is a well or pit in the Southern Southwest, there is a possibility of health disorders or sickness, particularly women may suffer, in some homes the residents' may terribly suffer with ill health. There will be a loss of money too.

There will be indebtedness. With other Vastu defects in some homes, they meet a premature death. If any well or pit is there in the Western Southwest, the landlord will suffer from chronic diseases and have a sticker with a bad character person. With other vastu defects including this Western Southwest water sump, there is a possibility of death.

A well or a pit in Western Northwest ( get complete details about useful Northwest Facing House Vastu ideas) will affect the men. They will be bad characters, they suffer financial losses, court litigation, and thefts. They will have no peace of mind. If there is a well or pit in the northern northwest enmity will increase, women will have no mental peace or they may leave the house and such undesirable things come up.

Some people cite irrelevant matters from ancient books and support the incongruous points as standard in their books. It is a tested and proved point that it is better for the site of construction to be more in the west than in the east and south (learn complete advantages of South facing homes) more elevated than in the north.

But some contemporary writes on Vaastu suggest that wells or bore wells should be sunk in east, northeast or north or even in west by citing old treatises like Kalamrita, Vasishta, Samhita, Sanathakumara Vasthu and "Vaastuchintamani".

It is cited in them the places that the well or bore would be in east, north, northeast, and west. But a well in the west does cause a pit there. So suggesting that a thing is bad in some places and the same thing as good in some places is self-contradictory. (this matter from www.subhavaastu.com) How should one understand this? We come across such incongruous arguments in some books.

The argument that Varuna is the lord of the west and so a well can find a place there is meaningless. Suppose a well or a bore well or undesirable pits are there in the wrong direction, it is inevitable that they should be closed and covered.

But some people cover a cement slab on a well to close it. Someplace wooden bars on the well and cover it with earth. But it is wrong to cover the surface without filling the inside with earth or other material.

They should be filled with earth or other material and then covered with slabs. But there will be a gap in them with the passage of time. Then again it should be filled and covered.

All About Water Storage Locations

Simple Ways of Arranging Water Borewells in Our Homes

Here water sump placed towards Southwest part of the Northeast corner of the compound wall. Anyway, as per the above image, this water sump has come towards the Northeast corner in the entire compound wall. But here the "Aya" is too important while constructing the water sump exactly towards Southwest part of the northeast corner of the compound wall. This sump is almost adjacent to Plinth area.

Now observe a small graph type water sump or water storage places in our properties.

The water storage feature treated as up and downs in a property, so before going to do any alteration in a property please approach one expert vastu consultant and obtain his guidance. Once mistake happens in the name of this dig or drill in a property, it may causes to mental tensions and money loss to rectify the same. Regarding the results already we shown it with red mark.

Can We Have Borewell at Southwest Direction

Generally, the Southwest water body may makes vandalism or deliberate destruction of the entire enterprise. Particularly this Southwest has a protagonist part in the destruction when water situated under the ground level.

The good idea here is to close this borewell at Southwest direction and open at Northeast then can able to resilient in their common situation or can feel like finding out trove there. We strongly hope that these cues may make residents more relax.

Here we are discussing the water tank or water sump which is water storage in the ground, we are not discussing the water tanks above-ground levels. Please note this point.

Case Study

Borewell is in SSW direction, and my all family members have digest, migration, and joint pain problems. What should in do sir? Thanks - Soumen - West Bengal - India.

The above is a very small example. This person is from West Bengal and suffering from several issues with SW borewell. Very soon, we wish to provide several issues that residents suffer with SW water borewells.

Water Sump Located at Complete East Direction

If the property is rectangular then residents can try to have a large water storage sump at entire east direction, but it should be done in the presence of expert vastu consultant. Because if there is any street focus or neighborhood defect then this method may not support.

Can Balcony Of The House Covers Over The Bore Well

Dear sir, I have bore well in the NE corner. Can the balcony of the house cover over the borewell? The balcony is projected towards both sides of the North & East with a little margin to compound walls sir. Please suggest me the correct way before casting the slab?

A bore well is for humans utilization purposes. After digging the earth for water, when water is detected and got good water, then Plumber will cover it with casing pipe with motor provided along with pipes. So it will be covered with full protection.

Why We Should Not Walk on Water Wells?

In the olden day's antibiotics are not easily available, based on those days' circumstances, our elders framed several rules and conditions for the resident's health safety. For example, if something is dropped on water, cleaning is not so easy and that become bacteria and may cause several health troubles to inhabitants. That is why our elders strictly ruled a condition that residents should not walk on water storage sumps, it means we are giving respect to water (water is nothing but God symbol as per Hindu system), on those days cleaning means they clean the water with a cloth or heat the water and later only they consume. You are well aware that most diseases spread with water.

Not only the above point, those days people do not have knowledge about how to strengthen the lid. Available lids may not be made of strong iron. They are using bamboo and mud to cover the water storage sump. So they ruled such conditions.

Nowadays, in a small village and a small street also we can avail antibiotics, and many new systems came to clean the water and generally, many of us are consuming mineral water.

Based on this we may not be serious on this issue and we can have a sump under the portico. But still, our elders or Pracheena (ancient) vastu scholars never accept this system. Now everything is strictly covered strongly sealed and no way to get that water source spoiled with dust, and furthermore, we are continuously drinking only purified water.

Another reason also there, water source means depression (unearth certain locations/digging), so children may fall into that deep holes, that may be another reason for our elders not to walk on this water body. Their thought is really appreciated and great. Our elders always think on our health and wealth. Salutes to our elders.

Is Water Sump Is Good In Front Of The Main Door

I have an East facing 35 * 40 feet plot. And I am constructing house in that plot. Now I am planning to dig a sump in front of the house (in Northeast portion the plot). The exact location of sump is between east wall of the house and east wall of the compound. I want to know if Sump can come IN FRONT OF THE MAIN DOOR or not - Nadipalli Bharath - Bengaluru City - India.

-> Nowadays the sites are very very smaller, in previous days house means one acre or half an acre. Now sites become like a matchbox type size. The principles to the acre land may not be suitable to the 30X40 feet size plots. So for each and everything we have to broadly alter and adjust, otherwise, people never build the houses.

Waterbody or sump or well is good at Northeast, North or East directions. Water is precious and it is time to store the water in all the places. Based on some restrictions we should minimize measurements. Water sump should not come at Southeast corner, South, Southwest, West, Northwest. Water sump is good at East, North and Northeast.

Residents Questions on Water Wells

Ours is a West facing house, with the back door on the East. On the northeast, we already have a bore well. We need to construct an underground sump for water storage. We don't have enough place to construct one, either in the North or in the North-east. We only have a place in the East. If we construct a sump in the East, it extends to the edge of the building starting from the compound wall. In that case, we would be stepping out of the back door only to walk over the concealed sump. Please guide us in this context, as is this permissible in accordance with Vastu? Thank You - Deepthi Satyamurthy - Hyderabad - Telangana - India.

>>> Dear Deepthi Satyamurthy Ji, thanks for your question. Nowadays we don't have such a bigger place to follow all Vastu principles. Vastu says that there should be a gap in between the Water sump and building/compound wall, it should not touch either building wall/bedrock and compound wall/boundary wall.

Please note that this rule was stepped in only a thousand years back, it was not framed nowadays and after the cement invented period. It was written only before cement's invention. Construction with mud/limestone/sand may not provide strength to the property, based on those days accommodating material, elders written that the water sump should not touch either main building and boundary wall and they framed.

Question from George from Ernakulam: Hello Sir, I am building a house in Tripunithura and have a question. The earth wire pit is located in Kanni Moola (Southwest corner). Is it OK to go ahead to this place? Or should I move this pit to some other place? I would appreciate your early answer.

Earthing means the connection of the electrical equipment to the ground or earth. The main cause for this earthing is to get protection from electric power shock and bypassing the maximum or heavy load to reach the ground. This is a semi-closed pit, it is not open to see the bottom where the earthing wire was placed at least level at the ground.

If there is no earth wire system to a property, then there is a high chance for the power shocks and accidental issues observed. Earthing is too important for each and every property. The earth wire is connected to a plate or pipe placed inside the pit and was placed at bottom levels and covering with cement slab or wooden structure to make sure that it was properly placed and not disconnected with the pipe.

Later we have to add or filled with salt, water, and charcoal, you are well known that the coal powder adds a perfect electrode conductivity & also acts as an anti-corrosive agent with this pipe. Salt plays like an electrical conductor. The good ratio of water has to be added to this earthing pit often to keep the good process always works earthing resistance in good control.

Now coming to the point that all the above process there is no any whole vacancy in the pit. It was already filled with some items and was not kept open. So you may use this system or place or plan this earth wire pit at East or North because regularly we are using to add some water to it, though it may not be compulsory but it's good if we add water regularly.

Northeast is not recommended, because it contains electricity which is said to be the fire in general. You may plan at Northwest or Southeast, if there is no such placement, then plan for South or West, the final one is Southwest.

If you already dug the same at Southwest then do one simple thing, close it with one heavy slab or solid rock shown at SubhaVaastu dot com website. Water sump or septic tanks may be dangerous at Southwest as per vastu, but earth wire pit is not such a serious one. Anyway, generally, we are not recommending at Southwest parts for this purpose.

Rain Water Harvesting sump: (Rainwater collector storage sumps)

This rainwater harvesting water storage sump is best recommended towards Northeast, through this one may not get digging level shown in this harvesting sump but the entire rain water collected at home may reach to the Northeast, this is a great logic and happy to know if the land was made up to get water collected towards Northeast. If it's not possible then one may plan to make it at Northeast-east or finally Northeast-north. We are not recommending the other parts of the home.

Can I Arrange Rain Water Storage Sump at Southwest Direction

Water storage sump is different and rainwater tank is different. In the Water storage sump, there is an empty space or filled with water. But while in rain water collective tank does not have any empty space. It is filled with different materials. Please read the important information on this rain water collective tank.

Water move from upward to downward, this is nature principle. If the rain water pit is at Southwest, then the entire premises water move towards Southwest. It means the slope is towards Southwest. The Southwest slope is not good. Hence we should not plan the Rain water pit at Southwest direction.

Is Northwest Direction Rain Water Tank Is Acceptable?

The entire premises water move towards Northwest is not auspicious. It is not recommended to have the Northwest water storage tank or Northwest rain water storage pit.

Here the important rule is water should always move towards the Northeast corner or East direction or North direction only. Other directions are not recommended.

West direction rain water pit is not good.

Rain water pit towards South direction is not recommended.

Southeast corner rain water storage pit is not suggested.

East direction rainwater storage sump is acceptable.

Rain water storage pit towards North direction is acceptable.

Please plan the rainwater harvesting pit in the Northeast direction only, if not possible then plan the rain water harvesting pit in either east or North directions.

Is Storm Water Pit Position is Acceptable at Southwest?

Southwest is not acceptable for stormwater pit. Don't plan the stormwater pit at Southwest, West and South directions. Best to arrange this stormwater pit at North, East or even Northeast too.

Drainage Discharge in North Is Good as Per Vastu?

Residents have to arrange a proper way to let the drainage water should be discharged from their homes. West, Southwest, and South directions are banned in this regard. The good idea is arranging a way towards North direction is acceptable. If the North direction is not suitable then residents can arrange drainage discharge water outlet at East is also acceptable. Northeast is not recommended for drainage water piping.

Can A Underground Sump Be Constructed With Ready Made Rings

Definitely residents can construct the water storage sump with cement rings. No problem at all.

Important Note to Read Before Going Through Experiences

Vastu Shastra indicates the trend of life by visualizing the various forces that act upon the premises. It is not that the person would suffer the consequences of bad Vastu implementations.

It promotes all opportunities to invite evil or bad tendencies whenever there is a violation of the Vastu principle.

Many residents fail to recognize this and quote an odd exception to the principles of Vastu rules to prove more than anything other than their wisdom.

In a place where there might be a water source in the Southwest, if in the neighborhood if this is the only house having such features the evil influences are more certain to visit. If on the other hand, several houses have similar features the probability of evil happening may be less. But the Damocles’ sword is nevertheless there.

Southeast Water Sump Experience by Mr. Rao:

Dear Subhavaastu, Namaste! Thank you for providing very useful information related to Vastu and its really helped us a lot in understanding the concepts. I have built a house (duplex) in a 96 sq yard. (24" X 36") facing towards east. But when I checked it is skewed to South East showing in Compass. So I tried my best to construct the house with vastu complaint going through your website and other sources. Due to the space complaint, I had to have my underground water sump in the Southeast direction and also the bore almost in the South East. I have kept my main door facing towards Northeast and one more to the main road facing South East. and the main gate also in the SE direction. However, I use the main door NE for most of the purposes. But I have been facing issues with my bore ( got repaired twice ) and also water sump not proper (some leakage ) from the time I occupied the house. Though I have enough bore, but could not make use of it. And also we got problems related to health to my wife ( miscarriage ) and other ailments. I feel this could be due to the water sump in SE direction. Request you to kindly check and provide us with the remedial actions/procedures so that I can make changes accordingly. Apologies for the lengthy mail. Thanks. Rao

Is Southwest Water Well Create Any Problems as Per Vastu?

Experience by Mr. Kiran Khaitan: Dear Mr. Suresh, Of late I am facing health issues, like diabetes/heart-related ailments, etc. We are staying in this house since last 50 yrs (me 46 yrs). Also forgot to add my dad had cancer & expired at the age of 65, (2003) while two uncles expired at the age of 56 (2006) & other expired at the age of 47 (2002) due to heart attack. Now I am an only male member in the house with a boy child. could it Southwest water well is a matter of concern?

Not only these above, we saw many experiences by the residents who suffered with SW water body.

Southwest Water Well Experience by Babu?

Respected sir, my house is east facing house. My borewell in Southwest. Due to that lot of health issues. what is the remedy. Can I build a tank in the Northeast corner. Is it reduce my problem - Babu - Coimbatore.

Is External Water Point BoreWell is Auspicious or Inauspicious?

Due to the unavailability of water within our compound premises, we did water boring at the outside of our Northeast compound wall, water is also coming from Northeast to the home through the compound wall.

Is it correct, or we need to change the pipelines from Northeast to East direction. Earlier boring was inside the compound wall, it does not have water. Can we fill this bore with mud or can we simply cover it with any lid?

Water source towards Northeast, which is inside or outside is not a bad omen. No need to change the pipelines from Northeast to East direction.

Close the earlier inside boring with the lid. Please secure it properly and thorough attention is highly appreciated in closing it with the lid.

Is It Good to Construct the Pooja Room Above the Underground Water Storage Tank

Due to tiny homes we have to arrange everything in a limited space. As per vastu or health view, one should not construct Pooja room above the water storage tank or underground water tank or bore well. Due to very limited space available, residents may place God pooja Shelve instead of constructing Pooja mandir on the underground water tank.

Water Well At Center Of The House Is Auspicious Or Inauspicious?

Generally, the water source well located in the center of the home or Brahmasthan is not at good.

Though it may be so convenient for the residents, it may not be good as per vastu

We found "only" 3 homes which have a water well in the center of the home and they called us to check the vastu of the home, they did not know about the center water well is creating entire problems. We tried to find more homes that have center water well, but we did not locate more homes than 3. These residents called us otherwise we may not get their information.

This may damage finances and health. To our surprise some times this well also gives fetch to the residents in getting luck, money, etc. Because those houses may have more open space at West or South. This would be called luck or fate of the residents. But there is no guarantee in giving good results when there is more open space at West, South, and even in Southwest directions.

Appropriate Barrels Location to Collect Rainwater

Dear Sir, I am using barrels to collect rainwater and use it for gardening purposes. Barrels are currently located above ground on East NorthEast part of the home. I am reading only about underground or overhead tanks but what if a small tank is placed on the ground towards North East? - Ruchi - Mumbai.

>>> If a house has huge Northeast open space, then using small barrels is not giving any trouble. If there is no such huge space at Northeast then better to have barrels below the ground level. Keeping huge water barrels at the Northeast is not recommended if there is such huge space.

What are Best Vastu Tips for Rain Water Harvesting Pit?

Dear Sir, I Am Having East Facing Plot. Constructing West Facing House. We Are Planning a Water Sump and Rain Water Harvest Pit in the Plot. Please Suggest the Directions I Need to Have Them. My Architect Was Suggesting a Rainwater Pit in the Northeast and Water Sump in South East Directions. Thanks - Arjun Reddy - Vijayawada.

Shri Arjun Ji, Please arrange the rainwater pit in the Eastern Northeast direction and the water sump in the Northern Northeast. Don't plan the water sump in the Southeast direction. Good Luck.

Hi Sir, My house is according to Vastu, my neighbor constructing a house, he is building underground water sump at the SE corner to my house outside my compound wall. We live in joint houses where no space between houses, all are one beside another touching. Will my neighbor's underground water sump at the Southeast corner affect me, if so please send me a remedy, I am worried too much and tense. Looking for your reply Thank You so much - Martin - Coimbatore

Digging a Northeast Borewell Compensate Existing Southwest Borewell?

Dear Sir, digging a bore well at the Northeast corner deeper than Southwest Borewell will really help to counteract the negative impact of the Southwest Borewell? - Madhu - Ponda - Goa.

Actually, Vastu says a borewell or water sump in the Southwest direction harms the inhabitants. If a resident digging a big water sump or borewell at Northeast, then both will start working on them. How can the Southwest borewell or water sump stop its working ability?, the Southwest water sump will continue and the new Northeast water sump or borewell also starts working. Here which one is senior and elder? the logic is simple. Only in some circumstances and there is no way to remove the SW borewell or SW water sump then only choose the Northeast water sump or Northeast borewell.

Borewell Located In Southwest Direction

Respected sir, in my plot, I have drilled bore well but due to availability of water its location is southwest direction can we divide the plot into two places for bore well and home separately and how. Please tell me sir - Vasant - Pune - Maharashtra.
