We have 15 gauges on the Fraser River. 1 is below normal for the date and 3 above. The balance has swung towards high water.
The gauges are in British Columbia. Reading the gauges in order shows how a rise or a dry spell travels downstream, usually over a day or more on a big river. Fall is often a low point for rivers after the summer, until steady rain returns.

The Fraser River is the longest river within British Columbia, Canada, rising at Fraser Pass near Blackrock Mountain in the Rocky Mountains and flowing for 1,375 kilometres (854 mi), into the Strait of Georgia just south of the City of Vancouver. The river's annual discharge at its mouth is 112 cubic kilometres (27 mi3) or 3,550 cubic metres per second (125,000 cu ft/s), and each year, it discharges about 20 million tons of sediment into the ocean.
