What this means

At 2.16 m, the Credit River West Branch at Norval is below normal for mid-October.

That puts it 0.03 m below the median of 2.18 m for mid-October, based on 21 years of readings. A year ago it stood at 2.17 m (−0.02 m).

The level has held steady over the past 24 hours. Without real rain upstream, that is unlikely to change quickly. Over the past 30 days it has moved between 2.14 m and 2.32 m.

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