Prevention of fire and sustenance of beneficial micro-organisms are reasons why people add water to compost heaps from time to time. Compost heaps must not be in direct sunlight since the composting process requires an internal temperature range from 131 to 170 degrees Fahrenheit (55 to 76.67 degrees Celsius) and will support wildfires during extreme weather and severe heat waves. Mesophilic and thermophilic bacteria need carbon- and nitrogen-rich recyclables to consume, heat to sustain decomposition and moisture to subvert aridification, drought or evaporation.
