And the same is true for wet areas. Ground conductivity is not directly
determined by wetness but rather by the materials in the soil. 

Water helps dissolve conductive minerals and improve ground conductivity,
but if there are no minerals to produce ions to provide conductivity then
all the water in the world won't help.

That's why the best ground conductivity in the US is in Midwest areas like
Oklahoma (30 mhos per meter) which are not wet areas at all, while wet areas
like Washington's Olympic peninsula have very poor ground conductivity (2
mhos per meter).

Bill,

Great going on your new copper pipe. In the dry areas, the more copper
in the ground the better.
