What this means
The Conestogo River at Glen Allan is running below normal at 0.70 m.
That puts it 0.12 m below the median of 0.81 m for mid-October, based on 21 years of readings. A year ago it stood at 0.62 m (+0.08 m).
The level has held steady over the past 24 hours. Without real rain upstream, that is unlikely to change quickly. In the last month it has stayed between 0.70 m and 0.98 m.
Fall is often low-water season on rivers, and it usually takes a few days of steady rain to change that.

About the Conestogo River
The Conestogo River is a river in Waterloo Region and Wellington County in Southwestern Ontario, Canada. The river was named by Mennonite settlers after the Conestoga River in Pennsylvania. In the 1800s there were several different spellings of the name of the river and of the nearby settlement of Conestogo, Ontario but the name ending in "o" became official.
