The document discusses methods for determining the depth of seasonal soil moisture fluctuations and desiccation cracks. It notes that the depth of desiccation can be estimated by examining soil moisture content with depth, and that seasonal fluctuations are typically much less. It also discusses how drainage improvements on expansive soils that are prone to seasonal movement can be difficult to maintain.

Ascertaining Depth of Seasonal Fluctuation and Depth of Desiccation Inserting meter stick into desiccation crack
The depth of desiccation is typically estimated from examination
of soil moisture content with depth (shown at left) The depth of seasonal soil moisture content fluctuation is usually much less, also shown at left. Drainage improvements, like these concrete- lined drainage interceptor ditches, can be difficult to maintain when constructed upon expansive soils This is because these soils are prone to seasonal slope creep, differential heave, and desiccation, as shown here
