White River above Oskabukuta River water level

What this means

Low water at White River above Oskabukuta River: the gauge reads 26.94 m, below normal for mid-October.

That puts it 1.03 m below the median of 27.96 m for mid-October, based on 10 years of readings. A year ago it stood at 27.48 m (−0.54 m).

The level has held steady over the past 24 hours. Without real rain upstream, that is unlikely to change quickly. The 30-day range is 26.92 m – 27.54 m.

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