What this means
The Cruickshank River near the Mouth is running below normal at 4.05 m.
That puts it 0.35 m below the median of 4.39 m for mid-October, based on 16 years of readings. A year ago it stood at 4.33 m (−0.28 m).
It has dropped 0.01 m over the past 24 hours. Without real rain upstream, that is unlikely to change quickly. In the last month it has stayed between 4.00 m and 4.12 m.
Fall is often low-water season on rivers, and it usually takes a few days of steady rain to change that.
