Where has all the water gone?

[Joe]

River between molesey lock and Sunbury has just dropped like 2 feet!
Can almost walk out to the island here at Hampton.
Blimey must say ive not seen it this low in many years.
No doubt there will be a lot of sinkers when it comes back up again.
Just hope i am not one of them.

10pm Tuesday night was the lowest I have ever seen it. A good 18" below summer levels and many boats South side, below Penton were beached.

Is back to normal now though.

us... Lockie's, weirs please

well done lockies, a particularly well managed surge I think.

water levels were dropped to around a foot below normal so as the surge came it rose to around a foot above normal. ten out of ten

So that's what they mean by "self-dredging"!

Would the river bed turn from mud to Marmite?
