Water vein

Water vein

A water vein is a psuedoscientific and popularly applied term to a body of flowing, streaming groundwater. Usually the groundwater doesn't form an underground stream. This rarely occurs in karstic terrains and some crevices or fissures in massif rocks.

Water veins are popularly supposed to have influence on levels of locational geopathic stress.
