You can dig the bore well in the Northeast and use it for constructing the house. Also do not place heavy material like bags of cement/bricks or other material in the NE while constuction of the house. | | |

Dear Ayyaz,
Water is most important elements in construction work. The water used for mixing and curing should be clean and free from injurious quantities of alkalis, acid, oils, salt, sugar, organic materials, vegetable growth and other substances that may be deleterious to bricks, stone, concrete or steel. Potable water is generally considered satisfactory for mixing. The ph value of water should be not less than 6.
In general thinking that the water fit for human consumption is generally acceptable for mixing mortar or concrete and curing work for construction work. However, the water must be tested before using in construction work. When you are making huge expenditure on construction work, a negligible amount spent on water testing should not be saved. Tested water or treated water should be used as this will increase the strength of cement concrete and enhance the life of building. For more detail about water for construction, take help from the article water for construction link given below http://www.gharexpert.com/articles/Water-1837/Water-Construction_0.aspx
