  • To come up with sustainable solutions to the world’s water related challenges, water footprint (WF) was proposed to track water consumption and pollution. WF indicators have been developed in agriculture. However, WF concept is still a new issue in the construction industry.
    This study investigated WF of concrete as a construction material. A WF model was developed to guide the concrete WF derivation. Manufacturing and construction stages were considered in WF accounting of concrete. Water use and WF information was obtained by reading the sustainability reports of 11 construction material companies. Operational WF was calculated based on design mix concrete as water use in mixing.
    The research results indicate that Holcim had the highest value of water withdrawn of 150 million m3/year, and CRH had the highest water recycled and reused as 77%. The WF of on-site mix concrete is 745 liters/m3, in which 62% refers to supply-chain WF (459 liters/m3) and the remaining 38% belongs to operational WF (286 liters/m3). Compared with on-site mix concrete, WFs of ready-mix concrete have small difference. Ready-mix concrete and on-site mix concrete have the same proportions of blue and grey WF of 58% and 42%. The blue and grey WF of cement are 327 liters/ton and 227 liters/ton, respectively. They are higher than aggregate’s blue WF (162 liters/ton) and grey WF (122 liters/ton).
