Experimental and theoretical studies of the electrophysical characteristics of water with different concentrations of conductive impurity, including the complex dielectric permittivity, complex conductivity, and complex impedance spectra are performed at frequencies in the range from 20 Hz to 40 GHz. It is demonstrated that the complex dielectric permittivity spectrum at frequencies in the range 500 MHz – 40 GHz is well described by the Debye model with a single relaxation time. In the low-frequency range, one more region of dispersion is observed caused by the phenomena occurring on the liquid-electrode interface. The characteristics of this dispersion region depend significantly on the dc electrical conductivity. It is demonstrated that in the examined frequency range, the influence of the interface phenomena on the complex impedance spectra of water with conductive impurity are well described by adding the impedance of an constant phase element. For the examined samples, the electrophysical characteristics and the parameters of the constant phase element are determined. The static dielectric permittivity and the parameters characterizing the double electric layer increase with the electrical conductivity.
