Water conductivity measures the water's ability to conduct an electric current. It is related to the total dissolved salts (ions) in the water.
Groundwater can carry salts into the river water, thus increasing the conductivity of the river water. Road salt is another source of salt that can enter the river system and increases the conductivity of river water.
Large fluctuations in conductivity can occur after a rainfall or a snow melt. Water entering the river after can increase dilution which decreases the salt content and conductivity of the river water.
