What this means

Low water at Maumelle River at Williams Junction: the gauge reads 0.41 ft, below normal for mid-October.

It has barely moved over the past 24 hours. Without real rain upstream, that is unlikely to change quickly. The 30-day range is 0.40 ft – 0.47 ft.

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