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 Gallinas
Beaver Creek - a vital artery in the Pecos Headwaters.
Beaver Creek near Gallinas flows with the seasonal rhythms characteristic of New Mexico's arid landscape. This river is nestled within the Pecos Headwaters watershed, an area known for its dynamic hydrology shaped primarily by the melting of winter snowpack and the sporadic deluges of summer monsoons. Flows here are typically driven by high-country snowmelt in springtime, leading to brief but intense periods of runoff. The arrival of July through September often brings monsoon storms, which can result in sudden flash floods, contrasting with the lengthy dry stretches present throughout much of the year.
Why the data matters here
This gauge, operated by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), provides important readings that help understand the current conditions of Beaver Creek. While discharge measurements are not available, the creek's status is important for local ecosystems and those who rely on it for recreation and water supply.
In the context of today's reading compared against the historical median for this date, it offers a clearer understanding of recent water levels relative to typical seasonal patterns from the last four years of records. By grounding our assessment in median comparison rather than raw elevation, we obtain critical insights into the creek's current state amid New Mexico's variable climate. This perspective is essential for anyone monitoring Beaver Creek's conditions for agricultural, recreational, or ecological purposes.
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.
