Since this is an electrical forum I assume you are talking about what we in the US call "grounding". Salt improves the conductivity of water by providing ions necessary for transmission of electrical current.

In case you do not have coal and salt for earthing how can you achieve good temporary earthing?

If coal and salt are unavailable for temporary earthing, you can use copper or aluminum rods driven into moist soil to create a grounding connection. Additionally, using a large metal plate or a series of interconnected metal stakes can help improve conductivity. Ensuring good contact with the ground and keeping the area damp can enhance the effectiveness of the earthing system. Always prioritize safety and compliance with electrical standards when implementing temporary earthing solutions.
