Electrical conductivity in water, is defined by the ability for a fluid to pass an electrical current. For example, if you were to compare drinking water with seawater you would find that the conductivity level of seawater is much higher. Contributing factors to this can be material or sediment in the water, such as salt. However, these can also be contaminants which can have a harmful effect on animals and human health.
