An indicator that describes the ability of water to conduct electric current due to ions dissolved in it (e.g., calcium, magnesium, sodium, chlorine, sulfate). Expressed in microsiemens per centimeter (µS/cm)
Shows the total amount of dissolved minerals in water, which affects its suitability for domestic, industrial, and ecosystem stability.
High conductivity indicates high mineralization or pollution, while low conductivity indicates water “softness” and possible micronutrient deficiencies.
Occupational health and safety assessments (drinking water quality)
Water control of industrial facilities (technological processes, boilers, pipelines, electronics industry)
Environmental studies (assessment of the condition of water bodies, identification of pollution sources)
