What this means

Low water at Jemseg River at Jemseg: the gauge reads 0.97 m, far below normal for mid-October.

The median for mid-October is 1.40 m, based on 21 years of readings, so the water level is 0.43 m below typical. A year ago it stood at 0.97 m as well.

It is still going down, by 0.03 m over the past 24 hours. Without real rain upstream, that is unlikely to change quickly. The 30-day range is 0.80 m – 1.14 m.

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