ue to urbanization and expanding economic activities, about 13% of the world's population do not have access to safe drinking water. With current trend of water demand, water shortage will become even more intense and approximately, half of the world's population will suffer from major water scarcity by the year 2030 said by UNESCO. Industrial sector, contributes about 20% of the national income. Textile industry contributes nearly14% of the total industrial production in India. There are about 10,000 garment manufactures and 2100 bleaching and dyeing industries in India. Textile waste water includes a large variety of dyes and chemical additions that pose an environmental challenge for textile industry not only as liquid waste but also due to its chemical composition. The shifting of irrigation water to fulfil the need of industrial use as well as water quality and lowering of water table around. The surface as well as ground water quality induces environmental degradation over long period of time because of discharge of highly contaminated effluent accelerated by over exploitation of existing water resources. The world bank estimates that 17 to 20 percent of industrial water pollution comes from textile dyeing and finishing treatment given to fabric majority are concentrated at Tirupur and Karur in Tamil Nadu, Ludiyana in Punjab and Surat in Gujarat. In recent decades, major research project are undergone to develop the utilisation of industrial waste into useful one. # D Auhtor ? ? ? ? ¥ : The Kavery Engineering College Mecheri. e-mails: s.purusothcivill@gmail.com, pvigneshcivil29@gmail.com, jayabalce4@mail.com # Conclusion ? This study shows the possible utilization of textile water in making concrete cubes with good and equivalent strength of concrete cubes made with potable water. ? Compressive strength of concrete cubes made with TETW and TEW was good and equivalent to potable water. ? The behavior of acid attack on concrete cubes made with TEW was less compare to the potable water. ? Further durability studies are needed and planned to know the durability properties in detail ? The study can be further extended as study of chemical nature of the sludge by undergoing several periodic analyses on sludge produced in different chemical processing industries, leachability and toxicity analysis on the sludge and sludge bricks, and other applications which can utilize sludge.
