Zoons Court Flood Storage water level

What this means

Low water at Zoons Court Flood Storage: the gauge reads 0.06 m, at a record low.

That is below the previous record low of 0.11 m (April 25, 2012), so the gauge is setting a new low. The median for mid-October is 0.19 m, based on 15 years of readings, so the river level is 0.13 m below typical. A year ago it stood at 0.06 m as well.

It has barely moved over the past 24 hours. Without real rain upstream, that is unlikely to change quickly. The 30-day range is 0.05 m – 0.07 m.

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