Slad Road water level

What this means

Low water at Slad Road: the gauge reads 0.01 m, at a record low.

That is below the previous record low of 0.11 m (November 18, 2011), so the gauge is setting a new low. That puts it 0.11 m below the median of 0.11 m for mid-October, based on 16 years of readings. A year ago it stood at 0.01 m as well.

The level has held steady over the past 24 hours. Without real rain upstream, that is unlikely to change quickly. The 30-day range is 0.00 m – 0.02 m.

Autumn rain usually starts to lift rivers again after the summer low.
