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 Bartletts River near St. Anthony
Bartletts River - A vital tributary of the Strait of Belle Isle.
The Bartletts River flows near St. Anthony in Newfoundland and Labrador, contributing to the broader ecosystem of the Strait of Belle Isle - South Shore watershed. This river is a key element in the landscape, gathering waters from a drainage area of approximately 33.5 square kilometres.
The watershed context
The Bartletts River is part of a diverse hydrological system characterized by its seasonal fluctuations. Dominated by Atlantic hydrology, the region experiences a spring snowmelt that often leads to freshets, filling rivers and streams with fresh runoff. As fall and winter storms bring significant rainfall, flooding can occur, demonstrating the dynamic nature of this environment. Additionally, lakes and bogs in the area play a crucial role in moderating water levels and flows throughout the watershed, helping to maintain balance during periods of both high and low water.
Nearby, the Ste. Genevieve River acts as a peer, sharing similar hydrological characteristics that reflect the local climate and terrain. This interconnectedness within the watershed enhances the ecological diversity of the region, supporting a range of flora and fauna adapted to these wetland environments.
Why the data matters here
Monitoring at the Bartletts River gauge (station number 02YA002) is vital for understanding changes in water levels and discharge patterns. The data provided here aids in assessing the river's health and the ecological stability of the surrounding watershed. Water levels are compared against the median for this calendar day over a historical record spanning 39 years, highlighting significant variations that may indicate trends or shifts in hydrology.
Regular assessments by the Water Survey of Canada ensure that stakeholders—whether local residents, cottagers, or resource managers—are informed about current conditions. A precise water level reading is more meaningful than an isolated elevation; these readings help provide context to ongoing changes in the Bartletts River's flow and overall health.
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.
