What this means

The Magaguadavic River at Elmcroft is running below normal at 0.82 m.

The median for mid-October is 1.12 m, based on 15 years of readings, so the water level is 0.30 m below typical.

It has dropped 0.03 m over the past 24 hours. Without real rain upstream, that is unlikely to change quickly. In the last month it has stayed between 0.62 m and 0.86 m.

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