What this means

Low water at Eastern Tributary to Dry Creek near Del Valle: the gauge reads 10.21 ft, far below normal for mid-October.

The median for mid-October is 10.27 ft, based on 7 years of readings, so the river stage is 0.06 ft 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 10.20 ft – 10.35 ft.

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