SCIENTIFIC VASTU | WATER TANKS | An Architect Explains

There are two Water Tanks that are required in a House:

The Underground Water tank also known as the Sump. The municipal water pipe is connected to the Sump. Hence this tank has to be close to the road as the water lines run along the road. Usually it is located below the Car Porch/Garage.

The Overhead Water Tank. The water from the sump or Well/Borewell has to be pumped into the Overhead tank in order for it to be able to flow down into the house.

Here, I have explained the Vastu Guidelines for Water Tanks. Since Vastu is a science, every guideline is based on logic and scientific reasoning. As an Architect, I have attempted to explain these guidelines rationally and scientifically, under the following headings, so that you can decide what you want to follow and what you don’t.

What is the best position for a sump or underground water tank?
What is the best position for an overhead water tank?
What are the practical remedies for for the overhead water tank in the North-east defect?
What are the Vastu guidelines for the design of an overhead water tank?
What is the best position of a solar geyser?

 


WHAT IS THE BEST POSITION FOR A SUMP OR UNDERGROUND WATER TAN, ACCORDING TO VASTU?
The Sump should be located in the North-East corner : The Logic -Since Vastu recommends that the North-East corner of a site be left open, to allow the useful morning sunrays to enter the House,  it makes sense to have both the Water source as well as the Sump close to each other in this corner (since they are anyway under the ground and will not obstruct the light). However, if the sump is used for storing the municipal water, it makes  sense to have it in the  front, as you will need a shorter connection to the municipal water lines.
The Sump should not touch the compound walls or the building walls: The Logic -The sump should be a separate structure and should be kept a little away from the compound and building walls, to prevent any kind of dampness from seeping up the  walls.


 


 WHAT IS THE BEST POSITION FOR AN OVERHEAD WATER TANK ACCORDING TO VASTU?

The Overhead water tank should be in the West or South-West of the building: The Reasoning – The South-West corner should be the heaviest, to create a balance of positive energies in the house/building.

water-tanks-roof
Overhead water tanks placed on the terrace.

Avoid the Overhead tank in the North-East corner of the House: The Reasoning – Though the North-East corner represents Water, avoid a tank here because the North-East has to be the lightest and lowest part of the house for a balance of positive energies. The NE corner should always be the lowest to allow the morning sunlight which strikes the North-East, to permeate the rest of the house. If there is an obstruction like a water tank, the useful morning light will be blocked. But if by chance the overhead water tank is located in the wrong position, there are remedies which you can read about in my post Remedies for North-East defects.

Avoid the Overhead water tank in the South-East corner. Also, avoid the Overhead water tank in the North-West corner (if possible). However if it can be located only in the North-West, then it should be small in size, of less height, and situated at a distance of at least two feet from the North-West corner. The Scientific Reason – The basic rule in Vastu is that the building should be higher in the South and West sides and should be much lower in the North and East sides. By keeping the North and East sides much lower, constant sunlight from the North and morning sunlight from the East can reach all parts of the house, whereas  by raising the building on the South and West sides, the hot evening sun will be prevented from heating up the rest of the house.

Avoid the Overhead tank in the centre of the building (Bramhasthan) –  as  it is a load on Bramha, the supreme one. The Scientific Reason –  Structurally it is not safe to have a water tank in the middle of the house roof, unless it is a column-beam structure.


 



 


WHAT ARE THE PRACTICAL REMEDIES FOR OVERHEAD WATER TANK IN THE NORTH EAST DEFECT?

Overhead water tank in the North-East corner of the house is considered a defect. The Overhead water tank should be in the West or South-West of the building: The Reasoning – Though the North-East corner represents Water, avoid a tank here because the North-East has to be the lightest and the lowest part of the house for a balance of positive energies. The NE corner should always be the lowest to allow the morning sunlight which strikes the North-East, to permeate the rest of the house. If there is an obstruction like a water tank, the useful morning light will be blocked.

Remedy for Overhead water tank in the North-East: In case the overhead water tank cannot be avoided in the North-East, here are some useful remedies to solve the Vastu problem:

  • Shift the tank to the South-West part of the NE corner.
  • Paint the tank red.
WHAT ARE THE VASTU GUIDELINES FOR THE DESIGN OF AN OVERHEAD WATER TANK?

The Overhead tank should not directly rest on the roof slab: The Scientific Reason – In case there is a leak in the tank, the dampness can seep into the building causing structural damage and fungus growth which is not good for the health of the family.

The overhead tank should not directly rest on the roof slab

The Overhead tank should be at least 2′ (60cm) above the topmost roof slab: The Reason -The higher the water tank is above the building, the greater will be the pressure of water, thus enabling the water to flow in full force in all the taps.

The Overhead water tank can be lined with light coloured tiles: The Logic – This will ensure cleanliness of the tank, as it is easy to maintain and there is less likelihood of growth of fungus. Moreover, the white tiles allow one to see all the dirt while cleaning.

Avoid plastic water tanks as far as possible: The Scientific Reason – We are still not sure about the health hazards of storing water in plastic containers. But today because of the convenience of plastic tanks and the inevitable leakage of concrete tanks, we are seeing more and more plastic water tanks.

SINTEX-WATER-TANK
Plastic water tanks are available in different sizes and capacities

In case you use plastic water tanks, use black or dark blue coloured ones: The Scientific Reason – Dark colours prevent the sun’s rays from entering the tank unlike light-coloured or transparent tanks. The sunlight that enters will encourage algal growth. (Thanks to Manoj for the correction).

Two separate Overhead water tanks are preferred – One , for storing water for drinking, cooking etc and the other, for storing water for bathrooms, gardens etc: The Logic – Nowadays, due to the shortage of piped water, it is advisable to use this water only for cooking and drinking purposes, as it is generally chlorinated, purified water. The water from an additional water source, like Well or Borewell within the site can be used for Bathrooms and Toilets as you may not be sure of the purity. Naturally the water from theses two sources should not mix and so it is better to have two separate tanks.


 


WHAT IS THE BEST POSITION OF THE SOLAR GEYSER?

The Solar geyser should be above the level of the overhead water tank: to ensure proper flow of water, and all the equipment attached to the same should be installed in the South-East of the roof. The Scientific Reason – Since the South East is considered the corner representing Fire, ‘Vastu pundits’ generally recommend that all electrical and heat related appliances be placed in the South-East. That is the only scientific explanation!

The Overhead tanks are located on top of the roof and are accessed by the Staircase. Read the Vastu Guidelines for a Staircase here:

Please suggest some remedies. Because it is summer, the tank cannot be moved as it is used for collection and storage of water.

    Dear Sir, I am planning to put Borewell for a already constructed house because not enough Kaveri water supplied. So I have space only in west direction and my main Door is in North west direction and sump also in North west direction.. Can I drill borewell in west direction or not ?..
    Also, what Vastu remedies we have to do for underground sump in North west direction pls answer both queries…. Many thanks
    Hi Sivamani,
    You cannot dig a borewell anywhere you want – there has to be a water source point. So if there are more than one points available in a site, opt for the one nearer the NE. But nowadayd it is becoming difficult to get permission to dig a borewell in Bangalore.

    Please give tips how to fix this vastu dosh, without sifting it to other direction.
    Hi Sanjay,
    There is no need to assume that you have to do something to correct the ‘vastu dosh’. In a south or west facing site, the obvious position for the sump will be in the West , South or South West.

    Ideally the sump top should be below plinth. The water connection should be made from the side closest to the municipal water lines.

    It all depends on the position of the entrance. But for your information, the underground tank can be in the NE corner, the overhead tank can be in the SW corner, But in both case avoid the diagonal from the NE to the SW.

Recently my sump got leaking and I decided to rebuild the sump two steps away from main entrance door. The sump is 3 feet away from north and 5 feet away from east. Is it correct please suggest me any thing wrong.
    Hi Satish,
    It is better to keep the sump away from the main door. When you rebuild it, construct it in concrete or embed a sintex water tank below the ground.

    Hi Saleem,
    An underground tank inside the house is not ideal for many reasons: the sound of the water gushing in, the chance of leak can cause dampness and cleaning it can be a problem. But if you have no other choice then you can consider it, but you will have to make a few compromises.

Can I construct a farmhouse abutting to it on the east side.I will not use the tank water for house purpose. I will construct overhead tank on the southwest of terrace. Can I construct a room over the rcc water tank for usage of watchman .
    Hi KJ Reddy,
    You can construct the farmhouse on the East side and you can have a water tank on the terrace on the SW side. But to keep the watchmans room above it may not be ideal as it will be too high. Instead you could probably have the watchman’s room below the tank since the tank has to be higher than the terrace.

    Hi Veena,
    It’s not a good idea to build any room above an underground tank as there is the possibility of dampness, leakage when it gets full, sound as the water gushes in, and difficulty in accessing the tank for maintaining and repair. So think about it. Unless you have no other choice, avoid it.

    which direction is good for keeping ups and water tank inside the house and sink water flow
    Hi Sudhir,
    Better keep the ups in a well-ventilated place. Ideally the UPS and water tanks should be outside the house. But if you really have to place the water tank inside, then place it in the NE corner. The sink also can be in the N or E if it is possible. But always give practical considerations more importance and place them such that there is a good circulation space around them.

    Dear sir,
    We have a underground tank in north east corner of our north facing house. now i want to increase the want tank, if i increase the tank the will tank will come in front my entrance door east. is it recommend the water tank can be in front of the main entrance door of east?
    Thank you
    Hi Srikanth,
    It is generally not a good idea to have a tank under the entrance, mainly because there is the risk of it collapsing under the weight of the people standing on it. But nowadays these tanks are made of RCC and are strong so the risk is minimized and hence it is okay.

    Hi,
    As I am going to start constructing my house which is having a North-West facing plot. The directions N,E,S,W are at the corners of my house. I’m preferring to have underground water tank in the front of my house as it’ll be near to the road pipe line.
    There are 2 options:
    1: north -west.
    2: north-east
    Please suggest me the right position for it.
    My second query is: Is it fine to have 1 Bathroom-cum-Toilet in the North-East corner of the House (in the back of the house)
    Thanks & Regards,
    Amit Mangla
    Hi Amit,
    Better to have the sump in the NE corner. It is preferable not to have a toilet in the NE corner.

    sir, My house is east facing, I have a well in EAST direction and it is covered ,we are using this covered area for entering our house from EAST Side, sir it is correct or not? ,we are planning a water sump beside the well as we dn’t have sufficient space In otherside of the house.pls guide me
    Hi Sankar,
    It is not ideal to have to cross a covered well to enter your house. But if there is no other option, then make sure the well is securely and properly covered. A sump next to it is okay.

    Hi Ajay Kumar,
    You have analyzed this vastu craze quite correctly. In fact, as an architect I always advise my clients giving such examples. Even after following vastu, people fail to have a fulfilling and happy life in such houses. The main reason being their mindset. If you do not work to be happy, the arrangement of your house is not going to do it for you. But of course, following some of the vastu guidelines will make it easier for you to ensure that all rooms get ample light and ventilation. Also decluttering and allowing the free flow of air inside a house is beneficial for the health of the residents.

    Dear sir,

    We have a underground tank in north east corner of our east facing home. Some years back, someone said they we should reduce the area of tank as it starts near the gate but went onto the porch and this crossed the line where our home building starts.

    Was it right? I again want to increase the size but don’t know what on which side to increase? If the increase on the west side it will cross the home building line. If I increase on the south side, I can do till some extent before even that crosses the line.

    But is this whole thing correct?
    Hi Veepul,
    Be practical and increase the sump in the direction where there is space and where it won’t foul with your building foundation. So more towards the south seems to be the best option.

    We have given advance for a home for lease. In that home there is water sump inside one of the room corner. The room is in North – east direction. Is it good to have water sump inside the home. Please advise.
    Thank you
    Hi Suma,
    The owner must have put the sump inside the house, because it is best to have it in the NE corner. Ideally speaking, it is not a good option as there is the chance of the water overflowing and flooding the house. Also, the sound of the water flowing in will be disturbing and it might be damp and cold in that corner. You will have to make a decision based on your preferences and tolerances

    Hi Nagesh,
    West facing balcony is good as it acts as a buffer to the house and reduces heating up by the afternoon sun. However, due to the same reason, it is very uncomfortable to sit there in the evenings. But is comfortable in the mornings. So it is your call.

    Hi Balasubramanya,
    Your proposal is practical and sensible. Keep the existing sump with it’s connections to the overhead tanks intact. The new sump in the NE can be connected to the overhead water tanks and thus your water storage problem will be solved.

    Hi Nagaraj,
    Is the well open or closed? Is the water from the well used for consumption? If the answer is yes, then ideally it should be exposed to sunlight. But if it is not used for drinking and only for gardening, then there is no harm in extending the first floor above it.

    Hi Venkat,
    The sump is usually in front of the gate as it is connected to the water lines near the gate. So from a practical point of view, that is the best position of sump. In your case it happens to be in the right corner as per vastu. all the better. So don’t worry.

    Hi Dayananda,
    It is not advisable to have a part of the tank below your foundation. 5′ is enough. You have to go deeper and longer to be able to have the tank capacity that you want.

    Hi Manjunath,
    There is no hard and fast rule about the position of the sump (underground water tank). Practically speaking, it should be closer to the road since connection to the municipality water lines becomes easier. So, If your site is a south facing one, then the sump will be towards the South. Don’t worry about it.

    Hi Balasubramanya K,
    Since you are planning to construct further and are willing to make changes, go ahead and interchange the staircase and the sump as it will free up space in the North-East corner. Make sure you have lots of windows in the NE corner.

    overhead tank is at center to the east wall.
    please find me solution….
    Hi Rohit Kumar,
    In vastu,it is recommended that the North-east portions be lower than the south-west so that the morning sun rays that enter the house from the North-east, can permeate the whole building. Since your site is higher in the north-east, lower the compound wall and have a lot of open space in this direction, so that sunlight is not blocked.

    Hi Girish,
    It is nor clear where the water is leaking. I suggest you get a good plumber to check all your pipes and water tank and set right the problem. You are right in thinking that the persistent water leakage(dampness) must be affecting the well-being of the inmates. So get the problem rectified at the earliest.

    We are constructing house and almost 65% of work is done. We have borewell in north east portion of the site and as there was shortage of space we made sump in north west side. I want to know if I can leave it as it is or should I think of some solution.

    Hi Roopa,
    I personally think there is nothing wrong with your sump and borewell positions. You just need to make sure that the sump is leak proof and large enough to store water for your daily use, so that it gets circulated and does not remain stagnant.

    My house is south facing but area is very short, due to that I have no place to build the sump out side of my house. My Kitchen is on north-east side and one old short defective sump was under the kitchen, municipality water line entered from South to my under ground sump, If I renovate that sump and make it under Kitchen, then what I should to do is there any problem for our future. Please reply immediately because I have to build within a week.
    Hi T Sen,
    A sump under the house is not a good idea. Sometimes the sump may overflow, maintenance of such a sump is very difficult. Ideally you should use your setback area for a sump- even if it is narrow, you can increase its capacity by making it deep. I do not think renovating your sump without affecting the house structure is possible.

One Vastrushashtri informed me that this underground tank will begin to give result after seven years. We purchased this house before 4 years.

    Hi Nirmala,
    Why will it take 7 years for the bad effects? Of course, in those 7 years if you do not maintain the sump regularly there can be bad effects on your health.

    Hi Venkat,
    Since yours is a North facing site with municipal water lines in this direction, it is practical to have your sump anywhere in the North side of your plot . If the space available is narrow, make a deep sump. But do not try to fit it in between structural columns

    Hi Vandana,
    I have not understood your query. I assume that you are concerned that the roof level of the SE room is more that the level of the water tank in the SW corner. This difference in roof heights will matter only if, there is a water connection to the SE room because water flow may be limited.

    Hi Indu Sharma,
    Since your house is South-West facing, you have open space in the South west and your site slopes towards the South west it is better to have the sump in this location. Do not put the sump under the house as it will be difficult to maintain and any leak and overflow may go undetected and affect the foundation of your structure.

    Hi Naveen,
    Being practical is being sensible. There is no point in wasting money on demolishing a rock just so that the sump can be constructed in the “ideal” vastu position, the North-East. Vastu advocates being practical.

    Presently I have a Water Tank 2 feet underground and 3 feet above ground level at the South East corner of the verandah. I want to remove it from there and make the ground level in the South East corner, and install an underground water tank in the South West corner of the verandah. I know that installing the overhead tank in the South West corner is the best solution as suggested by Vastu, but it is the frontage of the house and an overhead tank would spoil the frontage design and would also block the light and air to the drawing room. I can also consider the underground tank in the South West corner which is 4 feet underground and one feet above ground. Can you suggest the best solution given the constraints. Thanks in advance.
    Hi Suresh Rai,
    Since your house faces South, It is better to have your underground tank in the South either in the SE or the SW corners. But have it completely below ground. The over head water tank can be towards the back of the house as you rightly say that it spoils the front elevation. Do not compromise just because Vastu Shastra recommends certain”ideal” positions.

    Correction. Dr.Agrawal. I understand that dark coloured tanks will limit the passage of sunlight to water. White or transparent tank would readily allow most light to pass to water in the tank. Sun Light will promote algae growth on the surface of tank. This is the reason. No funda of UV etc.

    CORRECTION.

    One comment says dark tanks are good because they absorb sun’s UV rays which purify water. WRONG. The UV rays can only purify water if the tank is clear and the UV rays can enter inside to kill bacteria. Please remove that comment, it is misleading.
    Hi Dr Agrawal,
    You are right – dark coloured tanks will reduce the absorption of UV rays. Thank you for the correction. And as Mr Manoj has rightly said, “the dark coloured tanks limit the passage of sunlight to water. White or transparent tank would readily allow most light to pass to water in the tank. Sun Light will promote algae growth on the surface of tank.” I have made the correction.

    Hi Sridhar,
    If the existing sump is small and you want a bigger one in the South-West, go ahead. Just make sure the municipality water lines can be easily connected to this position.

    Thank you Salini. The idea of giving explanations is to enable my readers to understand that Vastu is a science. Please share this with others.

    Please write on detail about underground water tank below Car porch/Garage in North-west Corner. because u r write somewhere that underground watertank present only in north-east but some where below car porch.
    Hi Dr Agrawal,
    I have quoted what Vastu Shastra recommends – the “ideal position” for a sump is the North-east. But this does not mean that it is the only acceptable position. You have to look at different factors such as: the corner that has ample space for a big sump, the corner that is closest to the municipal water lines, easy accessibility to the sump and ample space around the sump for maintenance and cleaning. Most people put their sumps below the car porch or garage, because most of the above mentioned factors are met.

    my house is an west facing portico and the main door is in north west ,i have a small sump in noth east corner , due to water shortage i wanted to construct a sump in northwest corner which is a portico also ,. should i do that for me it is important, what are the effects from the sump being in north west .plse let me know.

    Dear Mr Bharath,
    The best thing to do would be to enlarge the existing sump in the north-east, either in area or in depth, since the municipal water connection must be already in this corner. But if there is a space restriction, then it makes sense to have another sump in the North-West corner, since it is also an open portico. But make sure this doesn’t mean extra expense for another pump and for the change of the municipal connection.
