Abstract - Water resources are the greatest blessing that nature has bestowed upon mankind. This non-renewable resource is becoming scarcer day by the day, and predictions say that the third world war for water could break out. So there is a lot of scope for the conservation of water and recycle of wastewater. As per the literature review an attempt can be made to divert the wastewater into the construction industry as mixing and curing water for concrete. With this attempt one can save consumption of potable water in the construction industry, reduce the cost of treatment of wastewater and minimize the wastewater disposal problems. Construction industry  uses plenty of water for all its construction purposes. Hence an attempt can be made to use industrial effluents and domestic effluents in mixing of concrete and there by save potable water resources. The main objective of this research is to study the effects of using the domestic effluents and industrial effluents as mixing water on the properties of concrete and thereby saving the potable water in construction industry. The effect will be studied on the workability characteristics of concrete with domestic effluent and industrial effluent, as mixing  water.

Key Words:  workability characteristics, setting time characteristics, domestic effluent and industrial effluent,  mixing  water.
