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.

In Arkansas, the rugged terrain of the Ozark and Ouachita Mountains dominates the north and west, eventually yielding to the vast, fertile flatlands of the Mississippi River Delta to the east. Hundreds of reservoirs and lakes punctuate the landscape, while swift streams snake through the valleys and hills, eventually giving way to the slow-moving rivers and bayous in the south. The waterways of the state are teeming with life. Black bass dominate most of these ecosystems and have drawn anglers for centuries. The most sought-after fish in one of the country's most prominent fishing states, Arkansas treasures its black bass populations.

White Lake in Western Michigan is a vestige of North America’s glacial past, and gets its name from an interpretation of the Indian, “Wabish-Sippe,” meaning the river with white clay. The twin towns of Whitehall and Montague, which nestle on White Lake’s shore, have shared a close connection with the lake since their foundation–from the growth of the lumbering industry, to industrializsation, the expansion of tourism, and most recently, environmental protection. The White Lake Association (WLA) was founded in 1988 by residents concerned about proposed development at the lake’s northern end.
