Abstract

The construction industry, a significant consumer of water resources, faces growing pressure to adopt sustainable practices amidst increasing global water scarcity. This review explores innovative water conservation techniques in construction, including water-efficient materials, smart water management systems, and water recycling technologies. By reducing water consumption and mitigating environmental impacts, these practices contribute to both economic benefits and social welfare. The study highlights the critical role of regulatory support and industry standards in promoting these technologies. It identifiess future research opportunities, particularly in developing new materials and integrating water conservation with broader sustainability goals. The findings underscore the importance of a comprehensive and collaborative approach to advancing water conservation in construction, offering practical recommendations for stakeholders to enhance the industry's environmental and economic sustainability.
