Cedar River below Wabaskang Lake water level

What this means

The Cedar River below Wabaskang Lake is running below normal at 28.23 m.

That puts it 0.31 m below the median of 28.54 m for mid-October, based on 21 years of readings. A year ago it stood at 28.27 m (−0.04 m).

The level has held steady over the past 24 hours. Without real rain upstream, that is unlikely to change quickly. In the last month it has stayed between 28.22 m and 28.32 m.

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