Could you please share with me a journal, link or books about the correlation/relationship between pH, TDS, TSS, and Conductivity?

This is a generally good book on natural water chemistry, and includes the equation relating TDS and conductivity.

An excellent primer on natural water quality is Hem, Study and Interpretation of Chemical Characteristics of Natural Water. A bit dated but available free from the USGS. Correlation between measured conductivity and calculated TDS needs to be based on actual measurements, as it occurs over a range depending on water composition.
