When salts and other inorganic compounds break down in water, they transform into ions \u2013 which increase the conductivity. If you were to compare the conductivity of your everyday drinking water to the vastness of seawater, you would notice a significant difference. The conductivity of seawater is much higher <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">because<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\"> of its salinity.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">There are various factors that contribute to this variance, from natural elements like salts and sediments to potential contaminants that pose risks to both aquatic life and human health.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The unit of electrical conductivity<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">Conductivity is measured using Siemens per centimetre (S\/cm) or microSiemens per centimetre (\u03bcS\/cm). This measure is offered in two main formats: actual and specific conductivity.<\/span><b><\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Actual conductivity <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">provides readings at the sample\u2019s temperature.<\/span><\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Specific conductivity <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">standardises results to 25\u00b0C or 20\u00b0C.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">The latter proves invaluable for cross-location and cross-time comparisons, as it acknowledges temperature variations.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Why is electrical conductivity important?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">Electrical conductivity is an especially useful parameter to measure when undertaking environmental or process monitoring. It\u2019s used in a range of different industries\u2019 quality control processes \u2014 for example, measuring the purity of certain types of metals is vital to the jewellery industry, but also aerospace, pharmaceutical, and more.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">When it comes to water quality, though, electrical conductivity is a bedrock of environmental diagnosis.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The significance of electrical conductivity in water<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">To put it simply, the higher the EC of water, the <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">less pure it is.\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">A higher electrical conductivity reading can indicate that there are lots of dissolved substances, chemicals, and minerals present.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">Factors that impact the EC of water include:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 300;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">Evaporation (takes water away but not salts)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 300;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">Rain (adds water)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 300;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">Temperature (even a single Celsius can change it by 2-3%)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 300;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">Pollution<\/span>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 300;\" aria-level=\"2\"><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">Sewage discharges<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 300;\" aria-level=\"2\"><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">Road salt leachate<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 300;\" aria-level=\"2\"><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">Agricultural and industrial runoff<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter  wp-image-7589\" src=\"https:\/\/www.aquaread.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/polluted-water-scaled.webp\" alt=\"Green, polluted water being pumped into a river.\" width=\"969\" height=\"646\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.aquaread.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/polluted-water-scaled.webp 2560w, https:\/\/www.aquaread.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/polluted-water-300x200.webp 300w, https:\/\/www.aquaread.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/polluted-water-1024x683.webp 1024w, https:\/\/www.aquaread.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/polluted-water-768x512.webp 768w, https:\/\/www.aquaread.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/polluted-water-1536x1024.webp 1536w, https:\/\/www.aquaread.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/polluted-water-2048x1366.webp 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 969px) 100vw, 969px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">Let&#8217;s take a closer look at some of the ways in which electrical conductivity provides helpful environmental readings.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><strong>Detecting saltwater intrusion<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">In <\/span><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.aquaread.com\/applications\/ground-water\">groundwater<\/a><\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\"> applications, EC is a frontline defender against saltwater intrusion.
