TITLE: Graph Between Moisture Content and Depth: Comments

The document contains a table showing measurements of soil moisture content at different depths in several containers. It also includes a graph plotting the average moisture content against depth. The moisture content ranges from 6.9% to 11.8% and generally decreases with increasing depth from 0 to 18 inches. Comments note that the soil is not highly saturated given the lack of a nearby water source.

Graph 2.1: Graph showing variation on Moisture Content of soil with Depth

COMMENTS
As there is no source of water near the site from where the sample of soil is taken, the moisture
content is not very high i.e. it ranges from 6% to 12% up to the depth of 2ft. The soil is not highly
saturated.
