Studying the Electrical Conductivity of Natural Waters in a Pulsed Field of Increasing Intensity: Case Study of the Kama Basin District

The method and equipment of conductometry in a pulsed electric field of increasing intensity were used to measure the specific electrical conductivity of various types of natural waters (artesian, river, spring). The potential of using the electrical conductivity of natural water in the function of the field strength as an integral characteristic of natural mineralization with conductive impurities (including those of anthropogenic origin) was demonstrated using the waters of the eastern part of the Kama Basin District. The pollution of some natural waters in the basin area was studied and assessed. Some aspects of the application of pulsed conductometry in an electric field with increasing strength were considered as applied to studying the seasonal, environmental, and other parameters of natural waters.
