Steady moisture over several days is ideal for recovering from the drought. The whole watershed was affected, and you can see the expected change in the river level.

From Penn State Extension:
When you imagine where a river begins, you might picture a tiny mountain stream bubbling out of the ground. That’s a headwater—but they can also be hidden springs, wetland channels, or small streams that don’t even show up on maps.
And here’s the surprising part: headwaters make up most of the stream miles in a watershed.
💧 Provide drinking water
🌿 Filter pollution naturally
🌊 Help prevent flooding
🐟 Support trout, salamanders, birds, and more
🌎 Power entire food webs
But headwaters are fragile. Development, runoff, and climate change can quickly damage these small streams.
The good news? Planting native trees along streambanks, restoring buffers, and supporting local watershed groups can make a huge difference.
Healthy rivers start small. Let’s protect them at the source.
