Abstract :
This paper discusses the soil resistivity variation with salinity. The variation with concentration and time is helpful for designing better grounding arrangements. Soil resistivity box is made of plexiglass and it is based on ASTM standards. The results obtained from the experimental data and from the equation are very close
