Presentation Abstract
Total Dissolved Solids or TDS is a measurement of dissolved materials in water. Conductivity is a measure of water's ability to conduct electric current. TDS and conductivity measurements are dependent on the drainage in that area and the recent weather. 293 TDS and conductivity samples were taken using a portable Hanna HI 9828 meter at the Murrells Inlet Oyster Landing in South Carolina between May 2008 and Feb 2021. The mean value of Conductivity during this time was 51,904 uS/cm and the mean value of the TDS is 29,598mg/L.
