It is scientifically proven that the presence of a water-body — ocean, lake or waterfall can help calm the brain, thus helping people to de-stress. With this knowledge in mind, developers have been putting in an effort to include a water-body in their developments, creating a happy and peaceful ambience for the buyers. Water-bodies also provide scenic views for the visually aesthetic resident.
Besides helping out in relaxing the body, a body of water is also considered good luck in Feng Shui. It can reflect the flowing qi energy to create a gentle, homogeneous pool that can make the area more harmonious and conducive for success.
