Most industries make use of groundwater resources not only where surface water is limited in quantity but also where quality is paramount. However, corrosion is an inherent problem associated with some groundwater, and it is a pernicious process that impairs the efficiency of industries. Hydro-chemical parameters (such as pH, electrical conductivity, hardness, etc.) provide valuable information, but they do not cover all aspects of industrial suitability. The presence of certain ions (e.g., Na+, Ca2+, and Mg2+) can lead to corrosion behavior in groundwater, and the ionic exchange between these ions can affect the stability of pipes, machinery, and infrastructure used in industrial operations. Hence, different techniques (besides hydrochemical) are now being used to evaluate the suitability of groundwater for industrial uses. In this study, groundwater samples were randomly collected from fifteen different boreholes in the Oredo Local Government Area and investigated for their suitability for industrial purposes. These samples were collected within the period of May to June 2023. In order to assess the groundwater quality, these samples were analyzed for some selected parameters, na
