High electrical conductivity refers to the ability of certain materials to conduct a large amount of electrical current. Electrical conductivity is abbreviated by the Greek letters sigma (Ï) or kappa (Îº). The SI unit of electrical conductivity is Siemens per meter (S/m).
Conductivity is water's ability to allow the flow of electricity and is defined as the reciprocal of resistivity, which is water's opposition to the flow of current. Water's conductivity is directly proportional to the amount of ions in the water. The more ions in the water, the higher the level of conductivity.
