History
What this means
The Aux Sables River at Massey is running below normal at 3.90 m.
The median for mid-October is 4.26 m, based on 20 years of readings, so the water level is 0.36 m below typical.
It has dropped 0.04 m over the past 24 hours. Without real rain upstream, that is unlikely to change quickly. In the last month it has stayed between 3.58 m and 4.02 m.
Fall is often low-water season on rivers, and it usually takes a few days of steady rain to change that.
