Among radiestethics, water veins ? as well as gaps and dislocations ? are considered as being the cause of variations in the Earth?s magnetic field and of earth radiation and, thus, as hazardous to the health of individuals.

However, pertinent scientific studies could neither prove the presence nor the harmful effect of water veins. No changes to the Earth?s magnetic field or any other alleged anomalies could be observed above underground rivers; the same applies to faults and fissures in the rock. Geological studies are generally indicative of the presence of linear water bodies only in karst limestone formations or extremely rugged bedrock. The collecting and veining effect, which, as radiestethics believe, is caused by the hydraulic gradients of the flowing ground water, has been proven to be incorrect as an easily verifiable matter of fact, because of the diffuse and largely homogeneous flow of ground water in the geologically young unconsolidated sediments that cover large parts of Germany. This is easily recognizable in any major underground civil engineering work or open-cast mining work carried out.
