  <dc:description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Electrical conductance is a measure of the capacity of a substance to conduct an electrical current. The specific electrical conductance (conductivity) of water is a function of the types and quantities of dissolved substances it contains, normalized to a unit length and unit cross section at a specified temperature. This section of the&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;National Field Manual&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;(NFM) describes U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) guidance and protocols for measurement of conductivity in ground and surface waters.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</dc:description>
