Abstract
The emergence of increasing population has caused a requirement of rapid infrastructure development which requires huge amount of fresh water. The world is already facing water crises and as reports of UNICEF, around 700 million people will suffer due to scarcity of water by the end of year 2030. In such situation, it is necessary to reduce the use of fresh water in construction industries by replacing fresh water with sea water, domestic and industrial waste water. This article aims to provide the short review to create knowhow of the utilization of water other than fresh water in the construction on the basis of previous researches. In this article, the effect of sea water and recycled waste water on the mechanical and durability properties has been discussed and it was found that use of high amount of salt present in sea water reduces the compressive strength but it can be countered by using admixtures and special types of cements and the use of sea water and recycled waste water in the cement concrete requires high degree of supervision.
