Water conservation in construction is a critical aspect of sustainable development and environmental stewardship. As the global population grows and urbanization expands, the demand for freshwater resources continues to rise, making it imperative to adopt strategies that minimize water consumption in the construction industry. This paper explores the existing literature highlighting the importance of water conservation in construction, its associated challenges, and potential solutions. The construction sector is a significant consumer of water due to various processes, including concrete production, curing of concrete, site preparation, equipment operation, and sanitation. Water scarcity, climate change, and stricter regulations have heightened the need for effective water management practices within construction projects. Implementing water conservation measures not only helps address these challenges but also offers social and environmental benefits, such as reduced water costs, improved project efficiency, and enhanced sustainability credentials. This paper reviews the various researches available to assess the water consumption during the construction phase, and to ensure the efficient use of water during the construction activities, such as curing, concrete production, and plastering. It also focuses on the methodologies adopted in other tangential domains which implement efficient water usage.
