Definition

A pool or flowing-water feature within a garden/parcel (distinct from the BS well/spring zon-water-source and the tank zon-tadaga). Svoboda: best placed in the NE and flowing W→E or S→N; pools welcome in the NE if not so large as to upstage the house; water behind the house, or in the SW, destabilizes the property's energy; stagnant water anywhere fosters stagnant prāṇa. [MODERN/TRADITIONAL — Svoboda transmitting Vāstu landscape-water lore].

Prāṇa relevance

Direct prāṇa hook: 'Stagnant water anywhere fosters stagnant prāṇa' (PDF p.237) — clean/flowing NE water supports good prāṇa, stagnant or ill-placed water degrades it. Mechanism (why placement → prāṇa) not stated; captured, not closed.
