The emphasis when fengshui is mentioned is the use of objects and interior decoration to harmonise the internal fengshui. There are certainly benefits from the arrangement of the internal space to get the results we want. Simple common sense rules almost always does the job. And there are much published material out there.
I would say stay away from the superstitious and those which do not fit into common sense and practicality. Very often, tips are given. Use them but use your head. Very often too, the tips are base on superficial application of known fengshui theory and their use are questionable. An example is not to have water (like building a swimming pool) near at he south end of your house as south is associated with fire and water theefore becomes a no-no. This is of course simplistic and silly as well.
Back to the subject of water, old texts do mention them. And there being no swimming pools back then, the water they mention are natural bodies of water like lakes, rivers, streams, marshes and sea.
The sketch shows one example. It is also a good study on the application of Greater Gua.
The house shown on the bottom left was the home in question in this case study. It was built during the 3rd yuan (or cycle of 3) with an orientation of roughly northeast-southwest of GenWei.
During the 8th and 2nd yuan, the bodies of water being favorable saw progress and wealth as well as much other good things. This despite the fact that the orientation of the property was not so auspicious. Decay then started on the approach of the 3rd cycle and this decadence is attributed to the positioning of the lake in relation to the homes.
This example presented here is an example of the application of the Zhen, Cui and Zhao theory of water fengshui.
This knowledge can be used when we are selecting properties to buy, rent or live in. Instead of just only zooming in to the peculiar orientation of the property we are interested in, it is wise to take a look at the whole picture. As often mentioned, if there is no sunshine even the most fertile seed will not grow. Even if you have the best “to mountain to water” or DaoSan DaoShui orientation it means little if the overall fengshui is no good. The picture has to be complete.
