Total dissolved solid (TDS) is a measure of the combined content of all inorganic and organic substances contained in a liquid in molecular, ionized or micro-granular (colloidal sol) suspended form. Salinity is the saltiness or dissolved salt content of water. So, salinity is part of total dissolved solids. Total dissolved solids are normally discussed only for freshwater systems, as salinity includes some of the ions constituting the definition of TDS.

Salinity can be measured using electrical conductivity meter. We can
estimate TDS from conductivity. yet in presence of large amounts of
non-conductive substances (e.g. organic compounds) the estimated value
will significantly deviate from the actual one.

DEAR SIR THANK YOU FOR YOUR ANSWER,BUT I CAN NOT UNDERSTAND THIS
ARTICLE THAT CONDUCTIVITYMETER MEASUREMENT CONDUCTIVITY ALL OF
COMPOUND THAT IONIZED IN WATER THAT ALL OF SALT COMPOUND(NOT ORGANIC
COMPOUND).IN THIS CASE SALINITY SHOULD BE SAME WITH CONDUDUCTIVITY
(TDS APPROXIMATE 0.7 CONDUCT)?IN OTHER HAND IF SALINITY IS FROM
Na+,Cl-,...condutivity IS EQUAL CALCULATED FROM THIS ION THEN TDS=0.7
COND.?CAN EXPLAIN ME MORE ABOUT IT?
