One siemens (S) is one reciprocal ohm; it is a unit of conductance or 
reciprocal resistance.  A siemens was formerly called a mho.  The unit of 
conductivity, g, may be written as siemens/meter.  1 ohm-meter = 1 volt-
meter / 1 ampere.  An algebraic manipulation leads to: g * ohm^2 = ohm / 
meter.
