HL2: I'm stuck

[simeon]

I'm in the 'route kanal' sewers, the room filled with water where you break through some wood planks and these big wooden spools float up. The room has high walls and given the floating objects I'm guessing I have to make the room's water level go up to get me to the top, but I've shot everything in the room and in the next room that is barred off and I can't figure it out.

You shouldn't be in that room, only way to get there is by increasing the water level in the other room.
