water-cement ratio – iDesignWiki

The strength of the paste depends on the ratio between water and cement – the weight of the mixing water divided by the weight of the cement. High-quality concrete is produced by lowering the water-cement ratio as much as possible without sacrificing its workability. Almost all natural water can be used for mixing concrete
