History
What this means
Low water at Blackwater River at Beardmore: the gauge reads 300.77 m, far below normal for mid-October.
The median for mid-October is 301.06 m, based on 20 years of readings, so the water level is 0.29 m below typical.
It has barely moved over the past 24 hours. Without real rain upstream, that is unlikely to change quickly. The 30-day range is 300.71 m – 300.77 m.
Fall is often low-water season on rivers, and it usually takes a few days of steady rain to change that.
