What this means
Low water at Ducktrap River near Lincolnville, Maine: the gauge reads 1.32 ft, below normal for mid-October.
It is still going down, by 0.05 ft over the past 24 hours. Without real rain upstream, that is unlikely to change quickly. The 30-day range is 1.32 ft – 1.50 ft.
Fall is often low-water season on rivers, and it usually takes a few days of steady rain to change that.
