Time not specified so 9am added in. Don's comments: Since the last report 2 weeks ago , we`ve had some 55mm rain in/near the headwaters of these creeks . I`ve an idea that the figures might be a bit misleading because the base level at the? markers is probably changing due to silt etc . It seems to me that there is more water flowing but it`s spreading out laterally . Is there some simple way to use a weir to measure flow rather than level ? I reckon that would be more meaningful , but it really depends on what you`re trying to achieve I guess
