Water level

What this means

At 121.15 m, the Seal River below Great Island is below normal for mid-October.

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 121.15 m and 121.31 m.

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