What this means

At 0.70 m, the Turtle River near Mine Centre is below normal for mid-October.

The level has held steady over the past 24 hours. Without real rain upstream, that is unlikely to change quickly. Over the past 30 days it has moved between 0.65 m and 0.71 m.

Fall is often low-water season on rivers, and it usually takes a few days of steady rain to change that.
