Conductivity of flood water is usually much higher then ground water, as it
has come into contact with numerous surface materials and pollutants. Also
ground water is also much more conductive then most realize as it's
solubility allows for absorption of available minerals (salts). Of course
you can't beat good old salt water. (FYI...Fresh water conductivity is
1 mS/m and salt water is 5000 mS/m...de W4ZV)
