When I went downtown to watch a performance of Vanity Fair last weekend, I thought the river seemed lower than usual when I passed by the curtain. The water was at least a foot below the bottom buoy, and many of the larger rocks on the bottom of the riverbed were exposed and visible. According to the National Weather Service, this region has received slightly more than average rainfall for the year-to-date, but over the last 2 months, it has received less rainfall than usual, anywhere from .5 to 1 inch less than usual. This may have contributed to the river seeming lower than it usually is. 
Thats not good. It would be interesting to see what the cause of the decrease water level is, if it is just the lack of rainfall or something else.
That’s interesting. I haven’t been down there in a bit, but it might be back up after the rainstorm yesterday.
