Suggestions for introducing treated sea water in construction industry

Day by day the water scarcity is getting increased and that too in developing countries like ‘‘India”, facing water problems frequently. The need for conservation of fresh water has become mandatory. Here the world’s water content is about 71%, and in that the ocean and sea water holds about 96.5%. As indicated by the report of the ‘‘World Metrological Organization” (WMO), the greater part of the total populace won’t have enough drinking water by 2025. In order to reduce the usage of fresh water, an alternate
recourse (Treated Sea Water) is introduced in the construction industry (i.e.) for the concrete mixing
and curing. In this paper the properties of sea water and traditional water are considered. The conceivable
outcomes of salt water utilized in concrete for casting and curing are seen. This paper additionally focuses on the variables influencing the quality of cement blended as concrete and cured with ocean water are examined and a few proposals to those issues were given.
