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 Assiniboine River near Holland
Assiniboine River near Holland - A vital waterway in Manitoba.
The Assiniboine River meanders through the heart of Manitoba, playing a critical role in the province's hydrology and ecology. This particular point on the Assiniboine near Holland serves a key function as part of this sizable river system, which is vital for both communities and agriculture in the region.
The watershed context
The Assiniboine River near Holland is part of the larger Central Assiniboine - Cypress watershed. Draining roughly 150,000 square kilometres, this watershed plays a crucial role in managing water resources for diverse uses, including irrigation and flood control. It hosts various gauges that collectively provide insights into the river's flow and health. Nearby monitoring stations, like the Assiniboine River at Brandon, complement this gauge by providing additional information about the river's dynamics further downstream.
In the prairie provinces of Canada, the hydrological cycle is heavily influenced by seasonal changes. Spring often brings snowmelt, which can lead to significant flooding events, particularly in river systems like the Assiniboine. As one moves into the warmer summer months, a natural recession occurs, characterized by declining water levels as evaporation and reduced inflow take effect.
Why the data matters here
The measurement from the Assiniboine River near Holland, operated by the Water Survey of Canada, provides essential data for understanding water levels and potential flood risks in the area. The station not only supplies absolute measurements of the water level but also has discharge data, which is critical for assessing river flow and its implications for surrounding ecosystems and agricultural land.
Today's reading from the Assiniboine River near Holland gives a snapshot of current conditions compared to the historical median for this calendar day, tracked over more than 50 years. This comparative measure helps gauge whether the water levels are above, below, or at the expected range for this time of year, offering a valuable context that raw elevation readings alone cannot provide.
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.
