What affects conductivity?

The subsurface conductivity is determined for terrain by the following factors:

1) Moisture content: the extent to which pores in the soil are filled with water.

2) Soil type: sand, loam, clay, silt peat or any combination of these.

3) Concentration of dissolved electrolytes such as water with higher or lower salt content.

4) Temperature and phase state of the pore water.

5) Presence of foreign objects: wood debris, concrete, metal or plastic pipes.
