Abstract: Electromagnetising of water and using it in various field is not a new concept. It has been done in agriculture, dairy, health care industries etc. But in the past few years owing to unpredictable rainfall there is a serious shortage of water. Also about 75% of the water available is hard water. Because of unavailability of water for construction practices, there is a serious need to use alternative water resources. This paper investigates whether different sources of water other than potable water can be used for construction works. Concrete mix for bore well water as well as electromagnetised bore well water were prepared and an another set of concrete mix of same proportion were prepared of the water flowing out of the STP and the electromagnetic water flowing out of the STP. Compressive strength tests conducted on the electromagnetic samples were very encouraging and can be used for replacing potable water.
