What this means

Low water at Pepin Creek at International Boundary: the gauge reads 1.18 m, far below normal for mid-October.

The median for mid-October is 1.31 m, based on 14 years of readings, so the water level is 0.13 m below typical.

It has barely moved over the past 24 hours. Without real rain upstream, that is unlikely to change quickly. The 30-day range is 1.14 m – 1.29 m.

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