This isdue to careless and excessive consumption of natural resources, with the consequentproduction of waste products. The need to change this pattern has led to a new concept inindustry, the concept of deconstruction.This study thus defines procedures for the deconstruction of building water systems, andsuggests some strategies to increase the number of works that can apply the concept. It alsoincreases the ease of use and presents the main methods of recycling waste generated by thedeconstruction of such systems.37º <strong>IAHS</strong> <strong>World</strong> <strong>Congress</strong> On Housing Science 141
