What this means

Low water at Wabigoon River near Quibell: the gauge reads 337.03 m, below normal for mid-October.

The median for mid-October is 337.32 m, based on 20 years of readings, so the water level is 0.29 m below typical.

It is still going down, by 0.01 m over the past 24 hours. Without real rain upstream, that is unlikely to change quickly. The 30-day range is 336.92 m – 337.10 m.

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