What this means

At 17.89 m, the Nashwaak River at Durham Bridge is below normal for mid-October.

That puts it 0.13 m below the median of 18.01 m for mid-October, based on 16 years of readings. A year ago it stood at 17.69 m (+0.19 m).

The level is falling, down 0.06 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 17.73 m and 17.96 m.

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