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 Ash Cyn Creek near Carson City
Ash Cyn Creek - A vital tributary of the Upper Carson watershed.
Nestled in the arid landscape near Carson City, Ash Cyn Creek serves as a vital tributary within the Upper Carson watershed. This ephemeral stream showcases the region’s distinctive hydrology, where mountain snowmelt drives spring peaks that are essential for sustaining local ecosystems and water needs.
The watershed context
Ash Cyn Creek lies within a drainage area of roughly 5.2 square miles, encompassing a mix of steep and gentle terrain that influences both its flow regime and seasonal dynamics. The creek contributes to the Upper Carson watershed, which supports various water bodies, including the Carson River that flows nearby. This interconnectedness highlights the importance of Ash Cyn Creek as it plays a significant role in collecting runoff from surrounding landscapes, especially during the spring snowmelt and following summer thunderstorms that can lead to sudden localized flooding.
Why the data matters here
The USGS operates the station at Ash Cyn Creek, providing essential data on stream discharge. For those relying on this water resource—for agriculture, recreation, or ecological health—monitoring current conditions is vital. Today’s reading can be compared against the historical median for this calendar day over the past 50 years, offering context that raw elevation alone cannot provide. Understanding how current conditions stack up against established norms helps inform decision-making and awareness of potential risks or resource availability.
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.
