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 Beaver Creek near EL Porvenir
Beaver Creek - a vital flow in the Pecos Headwaters.
Nestled in the arid Southwestern landscape of New Mexico, Beaver Creek near EL Porvenir serves as an important water source within the Pecos Headwaters watershed. This creek plays a crucial role in the regional hydrology, with its flows influenced by seasonal weather patterns that drive the ecology and water availability for local communities and wildlife.
The watershed context
Beaver Creek is surrounded by a network of tributaries and peers, including Gallinas Creek and Blue Canyon Creek, which contribute to the water dynamics in the area. The Pecos Headwaters watershed is intrinsic to the functionality of the broader ecological system, supporting both natural habitats and human activities. In spring, high-country snowmelt contributes to increased flow rates, vital for replenishing the creek's water levels after the dry stretches typical of the region. Between the summer monsoon storms of July to September, fluvial systems like Beaver Creek become susceptible to flash floods, dramatically impacting the landscape and waterway health.
Why the data matters here
Today's data reading for Beaver Creek is valuable as it offers a comparison against the historical median for this date. Monitoring the creek's flow helps track its health and reveals insights into patterns that sustain the ecosystem. Given that the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) has recorded this data for over three years, it provides a reliable snapshot into the creek's behavior over time. Understanding these trends is crucial for managing water resources in this arid environment, where every drop counts.
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.
