12/23/2022    On very smooth surfaces adding water can increase
              friction:

              https://physics.aps.org/articles/v15/196

              "[T]he coefficient of friction (horizontal force
              divided by normal force) had its minimum value of
              0.3 when the surfaces were completely dry. As the
              humidity increased, the coefficient peaked at 0.6
              when the humidity was 20% and then slowly decreased
              as the air became more humid. For the fully immersed
              case, the coefficient was around 0.5, implying that
              the completely wet surfaces were nearly twice as
              sticky as the completely dry ones."

12/01/2022    Walking on deformable surfaces, like dirt or sand,
              requires more work because one needs to "take longer 
              strides, which in turn leads to increased energy use
              by muscles in the hips and knees":
