Abstract


As human population continues to grow and urbanize, the challenges for securing water resources and disposing of wastewater will become increasingly more difficult. The purpose of this project is to evaluate the use of treated wastewater in production of concrete so that cost and scarcity can be managed by using substitute of fresh water, and wastewater can be properly disposed to safeguard the environment at concrete plant.

Keywords
