What this means

Low water at Prairie Creek at Cadillac Mine - Site Two: the gauge reads 1.00 m, far below normal for mid-October.

The median for mid-October is 1.23 m, based on 13 years of readings, so the water level is 0.23 m below typical.

It has barely moved over the past 24 hours. Without real rain upstream, that is unlikely to change quickly. The 30-day range is 0.94 m – 1.13 m.

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