You are taking conductivity and salinity measurement in an estuary every half hour over a tidal cycle. Explain what a graph over time would look like for an upper estuary site where farmers use the water for irrigation and a lower estuary site where there is a bream and flathead fishing industry.

A graph over time of salinity and conductivity at an upper estuary site will be less inclined than that at a lower estuary site.

What are salinity and conductivity measurements?

Salinity is a measure of the salt content of a water body.

Conductivity is a measure of the electrical conductivity of a solution or substance.

Conductivity increases with increase in salinity.

An estuary is a region where salt water from the sea meet freshwater from a river or stream.

At an upper estuary site where farmers use the water for irrigation, there will be decreased salinity and conductivity with time, while at a lower estuary site where there is a bream and flathead fishing industry, their will be increased salinity and conductivity with time.

Therefore, a graph over time of salinity and conductivity at an upper estuary site will be less inclined than that at a lower estuary site.
