What this means

Low water at Dennis Stream near St. Stephen: the gauge reads 1.43 m, far below normal for mid-October.

The level has held steady over the past 24 hours. Without real rain upstream, that is unlikely to change quickly. The 30-day range is 1.38 m – 1.47 m.

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