To protect humans, devices and maintain high reliability of electrical equipments, efficient\nearthing system has to be provided for residential and commercial buildings. The use of chemical\nelements around the electrode of earthing systems reduces the earth resistance which improves\nthe efficiency of these systems. However, the use of these elements can�t achieve very small earth\nresistance especially in the case of dry clay. In addition, they are expensive and not available all\nthe time. This paper presents a method that treats the soil with adding the Dead Sea water instead\nof the chemical elements to further reduce the earth resistance and to avoid the expenses of these\nelements. In our approach, the Dead Sea water is added to a hole around the electrode with a distance\nnot exceeding 10 cm to avoid the corrosion layer on the electrode. Practical measurements\nare demonstrated to show the efficiency of the proposed approach.
