What this means

Low water at Walnut Creek at Reno: the gauge reads 2.56 ft, below normal for mid-October.

That puts it 0.57 ft below the median of 3.13 ft for mid-October, based on 31 years of readings. A year ago it stood at 2.44 ft (+0.12 ft).

It is still going down, by 0.04 ft over the past 24 hours. Without real rain upstream, that is unlikely to change quickly. The 30-day range is 2.32 ft – 2.87 ft.

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