What this means

Low water at Savannah River near Evans: the gauge reads 14.14 ft, below normal for mid-October.

That puts it 0.48 ft below the median of 14.62 ft for mid-October, based on 21 years of readings. A year ago it stood at 14.20 ft (−0.06 ft).

It is still going down, by 0.27 ft over the past 24 hours. Without real rain upstream, that is unlikely to change quickly. The 30-day range is 14.05 ft – 16.54 ft.

Fall is often low-water season on rivers, and it usually takes a few days of steady rain to change that. The sensor also reports a water temperature of 72 °F.
