water conductivity


Explanation:
My guess is that this is a typo, as "Wasserwegkeit" only gives two google results, both of which point to proz. and what they actually mean is Wasserwegigkeit.

Example sentence(s):
  • Water conductivity is measured by the diminution of electrical current passed through a water sample.
