:blink: Went to the Paddle Sport Festival this weekend. Picked up the SCA 2nd Edition guide book. I’ve got a wee question. The icons on the give a really good quick eyeball of what to expect. However, the level gauge has gotten me.

I know the top denotes flood etc and the bottom, drought. But what does it mean? There’s white and blue. Is blue full and white empty? Some boxes are all white and some are patchy white.

This is the question on all boaters minds and Iam the one asking DOH!

Any ideas? :ph34r:

Hi there

Let me see if I can help......

The water gauge is meant to make it easier to work out at a glance how much water each river needs.

Top of the gauge is huge and bottom is drought. The white area signifies the runnable range of water levels. So if the white area fills the whole gauge then you know that section of river can be run at all water levels. If say only the top third of the gauge is white then that would suggest the run is only worth while at very high flows. Likewise if the white shaded area does not go all the way too the top of the gauge it would indicaite that the river can be too high to run at very big flows.

Does that help at all?

Cheers

Andy
