What this means

Low water at Kennebecasis River at Apohaqui: the gauge reads 7.42 m, below normal for mid-October.

That puts it 0.16 m below the median of 7.58 m for mid-October, based on 16 years of readings. A year ago it stood at 7.29 m (+0.13 m).

It is still going down, by 0.02 m over the past 24 hours. Without real rain upstream, that is unlikely to change quickly. The 30-day range is 7.30 m – 7.48 m.

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