As part of an over-all study of the performance of building foundations in highly plastic soil areas of western Canada, the Division of Building Research has been measuring ground movements and changes in soil moisture conditions in grass- covered, undisturbed soil profiles under climatic conditions ranging from sub-humid to semi-arid. Results of measurements begun in 1951 in Winnipeg, Manitoba, and more recently those in Regina, Eston, and Tisdale, Saskatchewan, are reported. Results of a theoretical soil moisture depletion calculation, based on Thornthwaite's potential evapo-transpiration concept, are presented. It is proposed as a more rational way of measuring the vegetation-climate factor in humid to sub-humid climates than simply comp...
