History
What this means
The Beaver River near Goodridge is running below normal at 0.35 m.
The median for mid-October is 0.61 m, based on 13 years of readings, so the water level is 0.27 m below typical.
It has barely moved over the past 24 hours. Without real rain upstream, that is unlikely to change quickly. In the last month it has stayed between 0.32 m and 0.47 m.
Fall is often low-water season on rivers, and it usually takes a few days of steady rain to change that.
