Evaluation of corrosive behaviour and scaling potential of shallow water aquifer using corrosion indices and geospatial approaches in regions of the Yamuna river basin

Abstract The research was conducted in the district of Mathura, Uttar Pradesh, India, and samples were obtained and analysed from 65 locations in different parts of the Mathura region in June 2016. Using the obtained water quality parameters of the study area, different types of indices including Ryznar index (RI), Langelier saturation index (LSI), Aggressive index (AI), Larson–Skold index (LS), Puckorius index (PI) and chloride sulfate mass ratio (CSMR) has been assessed and compared. The spatial distribution maps were prepared using the Inverse Distance Weight method and reveal that more than 75% of the total samples lie in the category of LI
