What is the effect of moisture content on earth resistivity? 

Answer»

The moisture content is expressed in percent by weight of dry soil. Dry earth weights about 1440 kg per cubic meter and thus 10% moisture content is equivalent to 144 kg of water per cubic meter of dry soil. So about 20% moisture, the resistivity is very little affected. Below 20%, the resistivity increases very abruptly with the decrease in moisture.
