Drywall
There are many options for covering basement walls. For information on insulation, wood panels, acrylic panels or drywall, consumers can visit home improvement websites or their physical retail locations (e.g. The Home Depot, Rona).
You don't water proof the wood. The basement walls are made of concrete or concrete block - a porous material. That concrete can be sealed before you stud and cover the walls with wood. On the exterior, the dirt is dug away from the basement walls, then the areas of those walls that will be underground are first covered in a special plastic then tar is applied and the dirt is pushed back up against the foundation. The dirt should be graded away from the house so that water is directed away from the foundation and not toward it.
For interior walls you want to use 1/2 inch size drywall. You want to use the thicker drywall because its stronger and it's a lot harder to damage than the thinner drywall.
Your question is a little vague. The walls will be built the same as the other walls in the structure, but will usually be finished with a concrete wallboard such as Durock. Water resistant drywall also known as "green rock" would be the minimum if you did not use the Durock. Then, the shower stall walls or tile would be installed on top of that. Does this answer your question?
A basement where the walls have not been drywalled or plastered.
Gypsum is a common earth mineral that is used to make the inside of walls. It is processed to create plasterboard or drywall, which is a popular material for constructing interior walls due to its ease of installation and fire-resistant properties.
Gypsum board is mainly used for walls and ceilings and is known as drywall. Gypsum blocks are used similar to cement blocks in construction projects.

To remove mold on limestone basement walls, first wear protective gear such as gloves and a mask. Mix a solution of water and dish soap, then scrub the affected areas using a soft-bristled brush. Rinse thoroughly with clean water and allow the walls to air dry. Consider using a mold-resistant paint after cleaning to prevent future mold growth.
I always have a poly vapour barrier. Better for the drywall.
