History
What this means
Low water at Little Maitland River at Bluevale: the gauge reads 6.64 m, far below normal for mid-October.
The median for mid-October is 6.78 m, based on 20 years of readings, so the water level is 0.15 m below typical.
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 6.61 m – 7.73 m.
Fall is often low-water season on rivers, and it usually takes a few days of steady rain to change that.
