Pond Salinity Calculator

Formula

To calculate the pond salinity:

$PS = 0.0018066 \times CL$

Where:

PS = Pond Salinity (ppt)
CL = Chloride concentration (mg/L)

What is Pond Salinity?

Pond salinity refers to the concentration of salt (primarily sodium chloride) in the water of a pond. It is typically expressed in parts per thousand (ppt). This metric is important for understanding the water quality and ecosystem health of a pond, as different organisms thrive within specific salinity ranges.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the chloride concentration (CL) is 100 mg/L:

Using the formula:

$PS = 0.0018066 \times 100 = 0.18066 \text{ ppt}$

The Pond Salinity is 0.1807 ppt.
