| | Preservation Brief 39: Holding the Line: Controlling Unwanted Moisture in Historic Buildings |
 | | Finding, treating, and managing the sources of damaging moisture requires a systematic approach that takes time, patience, and a thorough examination of all aspects of the problem-including a series of variable conditions.Moisture problems may be a direct result of one of these factors or may be attributable to a combination of interdependent variables. | | | For properties with major or difficult-to-diagnose problems, a team approach is often most effective. | | | This will give a baseline from which relative changes in condition can be noted. |

| | Determining Forage Moisture Concentration |
| | This is a time consuming process that is usually performed in the laboratory. | | | It also takes a lot of experience to perfect the technique needed to use this method. | | | Recommended ranges of moisture levels for various silage types are 70 percent to 85 percent for direct-cut silage, 60 percent to 70 percent for wilted silage, and 40 percent to 60 percent for low-moisture silage (haylage). |

| | Moisture conditions in concrete slabs that ultimately create moisture problems in flooring may not the flooring contractor's responsibility, but it is the flooring contractor's responsibility to ensure that potential moisture problems are resolved before installation begins. | | | A wide moisture content range from at least 6 percent to 30 percent. | | | When testing concrete slabs, particularly if they are on-grade or below-grade, the moisture condition should be tested not only on the surface, but also in the body of the slab (some moisture meters do this in a non-destructively). |

| | Drought Strategies -- Tillage Techniques That Can Save Moisture |
| | Tillage has been the traditional way to prepare seedbeds and control weeds. | | | Moisture loss from tillage is especially important during dry springs, when the seedbed may dry out and result in poor germination if rainfall does not rewet the seed zone. | | | Conserving spring moisture to allow seed germination is especially difficult with small seeded crops like canola and in dry windy conditions. |
