History
What this means
Low water at Fish Creek at Becks Grove: the gauge reads 5.53 ft, below normal for mid-October.
It is still going down, by 0.09 ft over the past 24 hours. Without real rain upstream, that is unlikely to change quickly. The 30-day range is 5.29 ft – 6.05 ft.
Fall is often low-water season on rivers, and it usually takes a few days of steady rain to change that.
