History
What this means
At 1.53 m, the Eagle River above Falls is far below normal for mid-October.
The median for mid-October is 1.98 m, based on 15 years of readings, so the water level is 0.45 m below typical.
The level is falling, down 0.12 m over the past 24 hours. Without real rain upstream, that is unlikely to change quickly. Over the past 30 days it has moved between 0.72 m and 1.74 m.
Fall is often low-water season on rivers, and it usually takes a few days of steady rain to change that.
