Two methods to measure salinity are through electrical conductivity and the total dissolving salts (TDS). Measuring the electrical conductivity involves passing a current through a water-salt sample and seeing how much current flow through it. The TDS method requires that of water-salt sample be allowed to dry through evaporation so that the resulting weight of the solid salt residue that is left can be measured.
