Water level
History
What this means
At −0.06 m, the River Till at Shrewton is at a record low.
It has now dropped past the published record low of 0.00 m (July 31, 2022). The usual range here runs from 0.01 m to 0.35 m.
The level has held steady over the past 24 hours. Without real rain upstream, that is unlikely to change quickly. Over the past 30 days it has moved between −0.09 m and −0.05 m.
Autumn rain usually starts to lift rivers again after the summer low.

On the river at Shrewton
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.
