How does the Blackwater River near Harold compare with last year?

It is 1.43 ft higher than on the same day last year, when the reading was 1.98 ft.

On Oct 18, 2026, 10:30 PM CDT, the water level was 3.41 ft. Down 0.16 ft over the last 24 hours.

Is Blackwater River near Harold rising or falling?

Down 0.16 ft over the last 24 hours. Down 3.67 ft over the last 7 days.

Is the level of Blackwater River near Harold normal?
