Overview
The Extech ExStick Conductivity/TDS/Salinity Meter features a high-accuracy multi-range sensor that measures four parameters: conductivity, TDS, salinity, and temperature. The autoranging meter offers 3 ranges of measurements from tap water to wastewater and any aqueous solution. The units of measure include μS/cm, mS/cm, ppm, ppt, mg/L, and g/L.
Data Potential
Adjustable conductivity to TDS ratio is from 0.4 to 1.0 to conveniently calculate the TDS value. The large 2000-count digital display simultaneously displays conductivity, TDS, salinity, and temperature, and uses an analog bar graph to indicate sample trends. The internal memory stores up to 25 labeled readings for easy recall. The conductivity module is easy to replace, and the self-calibration function activates when the meter powers on. Other meter functions include data hold, power off, and low battery indication.

What is Conductivity?
UPDATE : Fondriest Environmental is offering their expertise in conductivity through their new online knowledge base. This resource provides an updated and comprehensive look at conductivity and why it is important to water quality. To learn more, check out: Conductivity, Salinity and TDS. Salinity and conductivity measure the water's ability to conduct electricity, which provides a measure of what is dissolved in water. In the SWMP data, a higher conductivity value indicates that there are more chemicals dissolved in the water. Conductivity measures the water's ability to conduct electricity. It is the opposite of resistance. Pure, distilled water is a poor conductor of electricity.

Monitoring Meadowbrook Creek: Real-Time Data Collection in an Urban Creek
Meadowbrook Creek in Syracuse, New York, has been monitored by Syracuse University (SU) faculty and students for over a decade. Originally established by Dr. Laura Lautz in 2012, the early years of the program focused on collecting grab water samples for laboratory analysis and evaluating the impact of urban land use, human activities, and natural processes on water resources. Tao Wen , an Assistant Professor in SU’s Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences, took over the program in 2020 and upgraded the existing systems to include 4G modems that allowed for real-time data viewing.

Lancaster County Makes the Switch to Real-Time Water Quality Monitoring Systems
Continuous data collection in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, started about 5 years ago, and the county will be making a major upgrade over the next year—switching from relying solely on the internal storage of water quality sondes to telemetry units that enable real-time data viewing. [caption id="attachment_39295" align="alignnone" width="940"] The first telemetry unit was installed at LCCD along Little Conestoga Creek.
