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 Alouette River near Haney
Alouette River - a vital waterway in the Lower Fraser - Coast watershed.
The Alouette River, located near Haney in British Columbia, is an essential part of the Lower Fraser - Coast watershed. This river flows through a region characterized by its mountain hydrology, where seasonal rhythms have a significant influence on water levels. Typically, snowmelt from the surrounding mountains drives runoff, peaking between May and July. This watershed is pivotal not only for the local ecology but also for the communities and industries that rely on its waters.
The watershed context
Draining approximately 237 square kilometres above the station, the Alouette River serves as a crucial water body within its broader watershed. It has several noteworthy peers, including Bertrand Creek, Cedar Creek, and the Chilliwack River measuring stations, all of which contribute to the interconnected aquatic landscape of the area. Given the river's proximity to various other water bodies, monitoring it provides valuable insights into the collective health of the Lower Fraser - Coast watershed.
Why the data matters here
Monitoring data from the Alouette River near Haney is essential for understanding hydrological patterns in this mountainous region. The data collected includes measurements of flow, which helps gauge how the river responds to seasonal changes. Today’s reading is important in the context of its historical record; it is compared against the median for this calendar day across nearly 49 years of data gathered by the Water Survey of Canada. This comparison enhances our understanding of the river’s fluctuations over time, providing vital information for cottagers, anglers, farmers, and flood-watchers in the area.
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.
