Definitions

CaCO3: Calcium carbonate

mho: A unit of conductance. The conductance of a conductor in mhos is the reciprocal of its resistance in ohms.

Micromhos per centimeter (µmho/cm): 1/1,000,000 mhos per centimeter.

Milligrams per liter (mg/L): The quantity of material present in the water expressed on the basis of the weight (milligrams) per unit volume of solution (liter).

N: elemental Nitrogen

NTU (Nephelometric Turbidity Unit): Measures the clarity of the water.

P: Inorganic Phosphorus

pH Units: The acidity or alkalinity of the water expressed as a negative common logarithm of the hydrogen-ion activity in moles per liter (< 7.0 acidic; > 7.0 alkaline).
