What this means

Oatka Creek at Warsaw is running below normal at 3.31 ft.

It has barely moved over the past 24 hours. Without real rain upstream, that is unlikely to change quickly. In the last month it has stayed between 3.28 ft and 3.67 ft.

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

Compared with 5 years of daily readings for this time of year. How to read levels

How we check values

Each reading is stored as published. We hold back values that jump faster than physically plausible and show the measurement time with every value.
