What this means

At 0.42 m, the Marsh Water at Dulverton Town Marsh is at a record low.

It has now dropped past the published record low of 0.63 m (September 22, 2021). The usual range here runs from 0.64 m to 1.00 m.

The level is falling, down 0.02 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 0.36 m and 0.52 m.

Autumn rain usually starts to lift rivers again after the summer low.

On the river at Dulverton Town Marsh

Low, clear water makes fish wary, and anglers often do better early and late in the day. For canoeists, shallow riffles mean scraped hulls and the odd portage.

Flood warnings for the area come from the Environment Agency.
