Water level

What this means

High water at Millhaven Creek at Sydenham: the latest reading is 126.34 m, well above normal for mid-October.

It is on the way up, by 0.12 m over the past 24 hours. If the rise continues, low-lying paths and riverside parking can go under water. The 30-day range is 126.12 m – 126.34 m.

That stands out in fall, when many rivers are usually near their lowest.

Compared with 5 years of daily readings for this time of year. How to read levels

Key numbers

Lowest and highest in 30 days: 126.12 m – 126.34 m
Lowest and highest in 12 months: 126.12 m – 126.23 m

High water: what to watch for

Fast water is stronger than it looks. Even shallow water across a road can move a car, and riverbanks can be undercut and give way without warning.

Upstream gauges on the same river usually show a rise first, which is a useful early warning.
