What this means

The Beaver River above Cupola Creek is running below normal at 1.81 m.

That puts it 0.09 m below the median of 1.89 m for mid-October, based on 6 years of readings. A year ago it stood at 1.78 m (+0.02 m).

It has dropped 0.01 m over the past 24 hours. Without real rain upstream, that is unlikely to change quickly. In the last month it has stayed between 1.68 m and 2.15 m.

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