What this means
The Attawapiskat River below Muketei River is running far below normal at 22.82 m.
The median for mid-October is 23.49 m, based on 21 years of readings, so the water level is 0.67 m below typical. On the same day last year the reading was 23.19 m, a difference of −0.37 m.
It has dropped 0.02 m over the past 24 hours. Without real rain upstream, that is unlikely to change quickly. In the last month it has stayed between 22.77 m and 22.84 m.
Fall is often low-water season on rivers, and it usually takes a few days of steady rain to change that.
