pl tell me the role of water in earth / grounding pits & is there any calculation for the same may according to soil etc

Howdy:

The water serves as a solvent for electrolytes. When in the frozen state, it pretty much becomes a non-conductor (serious problem for us up here!). The calculation is pretty complex, but most likely it has already been done for your area. Look up soil conductivity maps, USGS.
