4 gauges report along the Birch River. 2 are below normal for the date and 1 is above. Low and high readings are fairly evenly spread.
On this page the river runs through Northwest Territories, Alberta and Manitoba. Reading the gauges in order shows how a rise or a dry spell travels downstream, usually over a day or more on a big river. Fall is often a low point for rivers after the summer, until steady rain returns.
