The specific conductance of waters and soil solutions is estimated with a simplified multicomponent conductance model. This model considers solute composition and concentration and a lumped coefficient for ionic interactions, retardation effects, and ion association. The effect of temperature on specific conductance is also considered. Comparison of measured and calculated specific conductances indicates that this empirical model is most applicable to waters and soil solutions with limited salinity levels. Conductance is shown to be approximately related to the total soluble cations and the total dissolved salts.
