History
What this means
At 25.51 m, the Blanche River above Englehart is below normal for mid-October.
The median for mid-October is 25.80 m, based on 20 years of readings, so the water level is 0.29 m below typical.
It has barely moved over the past 24 hours. Without real rain upstream, that is unlikely to change quickly. Over the past 30 days it has moved between 25.09 m and 25.52 m.
Fall is often low-water season on rivers, and it usually takes a few days of steady rain to change that.
