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 Aumond Creek
Aumond Creek - A seasonal flow shaped by snowmelt and natural rhythms.
Aumond Creek meanders through the Nipissing region of Ontario, encompassing a catchment area of approximately 150 square kilometres. This river plays a vital role within the Central Ottawa - Dumoine watershed, contributing to the ecological and hydrological dynamics of the area. Visitors, cottagers, and local anglers alike can appreciate its seasonal flow patterns, influenced heavily by snowmelt and rainfall runoff, leading to notable changes throughout the year.
The watershed context
The Central Ottawa - Dumoine watershed encompasses a diverse landscape, with Aumond Creek being one of its key components. With no major tributaries reported, this river stands out for its own unique character, providing vital habitat for a variety of aquatic organisms. The typical seasonal hydrology in Ontario means that the creek experiences a pronounced freshet in late April to May due to snowmelt. This high-water period is crucial, allowing fish and other wildlife to thrive. As summer approaches, the freshwater input diminishes, and natural drawdown occurs from July to September, greatly affecting the creek’s flow.
Why the data matters here
Monitoring the flow of Aumond Creek is essential not only to understand its ecological health but also to anticipate seasonal changes that impact the surrounding environment and activities dependent on the creek’s condition. Today, the river's flow reading is crucial, as it can be compared to the historical median for this day over the past 16 years. This comparison, provided by the Water Survey of Canada, offers valuable insights into current conditions and highlights any significant deviations from expected patterns. Understanding these flow patterns is vital for local decision-making in water management and conservation efforts.
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.
