What this means

Beaverdam Ditch near Millville is running below normal at −0.08 ft.

It has barely moved over the past 24 hours. Without real rain upstream, that is unlikely to change quickly. In the last month it has stayed between −0.08 ft and 0.16 ft.

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