What this means

Low water at Nisling River below Onion Creek: the gauge reads 13.88 m, below normal for mid-October.

That puts it 0.10 m below the median of 13.98 m for mid-October, based on 14 years of readings.

It is still going down, by 0.02 m over the past 24 hours. Without real rain upstream, that is unlikely to change quickly. The 30-day range is 13.86 m – 14.12 m.

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