In a water body, When water level rises and temperature is getting lower in winter. Instead of electric conductivity being lower, it gets higher. what may be the reason for that? does anyone know an explanation? or there may be an error in measurement?
Edit: I have measured the conductivity of three other sites and all of them has witnessed a decrease in conductivity during winter except for one site with water source coming from underground water and agricultural drains. I am not sure if it is caused by some substance in the water or something else because it doesn't make sense for me.

It is impossible to discuss why the electrical conductivity in a body of water depends. The body of water is not a scientific system. It is possible to speak and discuss the electrical conductivity in a solution that is placed in a glass vessel or a vessel made of another material that does not affect the electrical conductivity. The water level can rise from any solution. An increase in temperature causes an increase in electrical conductivity, since water and electrolyte molecules move faster.
Dear Isslam Chergui ,
you may explain about which type of water you are dealing with.
Running water from in some kind of river? The constituents*) of the water will change with the season...and thus the conductivity...
*) e.g. salinity
