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 Antelope Creek near Cabri
Antelope Creek - A winding flow in the Saskatchewan landscape.
Antelope Creek flows gracefully through the open stretches of Saskatchewan near Cabri, serving as an important local watercourse within the Crane Lake - Non-contributing watershed. This river, with a catchment area of approximately 615 square kilometres upstream of the gauge, plays a vital role in the region's hydrology.
The watershed context
The Crane Lake watershed encompasses areas that influence Antelope Creek's behaviour, particularly during seasonal transitions. In the spring, the snowmelt creates a sharp peak in flow, characteristic of Prairie hydrology, often followed by a lengthy summer recession. These natural patterns are heightened by the wind-driven lake set-ups, which can impact water levels and reflect changes throughout the region. The creek's neighbouring peer, Bear Creek near Piapot, shares similar hydrologic characteristics, showcasing the typical dynamics of rivers within the area.
Why the data matters here
Monitoring water levels and flow at the Antelope Creek gauge is vital for understanding its current state. Today's reading is compared against the median for this calendar day, accumulated over nearly 49 years of historical data, to provide context. This comparison, facilitated by the Water Survey of Canada, allows for a nuanced understanding of the creek's conditions by highlighting deviations from typical patterns. Raw elevation figures alone do not tell the full story; this method gives residents, anglers, and farmers insight into anticipated changes and environmental health in the region.
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.
