Abstract	Concrete is a widely used construction material that provides a durable and strong foundation for structures. However, the production process of concrete involves the generation of large quantities of waste, including untreated wash water, which can negatively impact the environment. This has led to the exploration of ways to recycle and reuse this waste material, including using it in the production of concrete. The use of untreated wash water in concrete production has been shown to affect the harden properties of concrete. The harden properties of concrete, such as compressive strength, tensile strength, and durability, are critical in determining the performance and longevity of a structure. The presence of contaminants and impurities in untreated wash water can affect these properties by reducing the strength of the concrete and making it more susceptible to degradation. Studies have shown that the use of untreated wash water in concrete production can result in a decrease in compressive strength, which is a measure of the ability of concrete to withstand loads. The presence of contaminants and impurities can also affect the durability of concrete by increasing the rate of corrosion of steel reinforcement and reducing its ability to resist cracking. However, several techniques have been developed to mitigate the negative effects of untreated wash water on the harden properties of concrete. These techniques include the use of chemical additives, such as superplasticizers and pozzolanic materials, to improve the strength and durability of concrete. Additionally, the use of pre-treatment processes, such as filtration and sedimentation, can help remove contaminants and impurities from untreated wash water before it is used in concrete production.
