conductivity on a FieldMeasurement is a key purge stabilization parameter indicating dissolved ion concentration in the groundwater. A stable conductivity reading (within 10% of prior readings) is typically required alongside stable ph and dissolvedOxygen before a well can be sampled. The unit is stored separately in conductivityUnit (such as uS/cm or mS/cm) so the value is interpretable regardless of the instrument used.
