Abstract— This article focuses on the importance of using potable water, a limited and essential resource, in the production of concrete in the construction industry. It is also highlighted that the use of non-potable water in the production of concrete is inefficient. Additionally, it explores various innovative solutions to obtain drinking water that does not depend on conventional water sources. These solutions include desalination, transforming wastewater into drinking water, rainwater harvesting, and modifying concrete mixes to make them less sensitive to the type of water used. It is expected that this work can generate a significant impact on readers and encourage the adoption and promotion or alternative ways of generating safe water for civil works. Resumen— Este artículo se enfoca en la importancia del uso del agua potable, un recurso limitado y esencial, en la producción de hormigón en la industria de la construcción. Se destaca también que el uso de agua no potable en la producción de hormigón es ineficiente. Además, explora diversas soluciones innovadoras para obtener agua potable que no depende de las fuentes de agua convencionales. Estas soluciones incluyen la desalinización, la transformación de aguas residuales en agua potable, la recolección de agua de lluvia y la modificación de las mezclas de hormigón para que sean menos sensibles al tipo de agua utilizada. Se espera que este trabajo pueda generar un impacto significativo en los lectores e incentivar la adopción y promoción de formas alternativas de generación de agua segura para obras civiles.
