Nibi Metrics
Real-time water levels, forecasts, and alerts for lakes and rivers across Canada and the US. Built on official government data.
Nibi Metrics turns raw gauge readings from official hydrometric networks into something a person standing on a dock can actually use: is the water high or low for today, which way is it moving, and how unusual is this? This page explains where every number on the platform comes from and what we do to it along the way.

About Alamitos Creek Blw Canoncito Ditch near Holman
Alamitos Creek - A vital flow in New Mexico's arid landscape.
Alamitos Creek, situated below the Canoncito Ditch near Holman, New Mexico, is a crucial waterway within the Upper Rio Grande watershed. As a tributary in this predominantly arid region, the creek serves as a lifeline for local ecosystems and communities. With a drainage area of approximately 6.9 square miles, it draws from the surrounding high-country snowmelt, which fuels its flows primarily during the spring months.
Why the data matters here
The USGS operates the monitoring station for Alamitos Creek, providing essential data that tracks discharge levels. Today’s measurements from this station are particularly important as they provide insight into the creek's health and water availability in the region. The current reading is referenced against historical data—this comparison against the median for today is more informative than looking at raw elevation figures. It allows water users, including farmers, anglers, and local communities, to understand how current conditions stack up against typical variances at this time of year, especially in a region characterized by long dry stretches interspersed with occasional monsoonal storms and spring snowmelt.
As observations continue, keeping an eye on this crucial stream ensures that residents of Holman and surrounding areas can better manage their water resources amid the variable climate conditions typical of the Southwest.
How this page is built
Readings come from official government gauges and are rolled into daily records: the daily mean, high and low for every day on record. Each calendar day gets its own baseline from the full history, so the level you see is compared against what this specific date usually looks like rather than an annual average.
