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 Becaguimec Stream at Coldstream
Becaguimec Stream - A vital waterway in New Brunswick.
Becaguimec Stream flows through the Central Saint John - Becaguimec watershed in New Brunswick, Canada. This waterway, measured at Coldstream, serves as a significant natural resource in the area, supporting both aquatic life and local communities. Its journey contributes to the larger hydrology of New Brunswick, shaped by the seasonal rhythms of the Atlantic region.
The watershed context
Draining roughly 350 square kilometres above the monitoring station, Becaguimec Stream is nourished by rainfall and snowmelt, following the typical patterns of Atlantic hydrology. This watershed, while smaller than some of its peers, plays a crucial role in the local ecosystem and water management. Nearby, the Big Presque Isle Stream at Tracey Mills and the Meduxnekeag River near Belleville flow through their respective courses, knitting together a web of waterways in the region.
The Atlantic seasonal rhythms dictate not only water levels but also the health of aquatic habitats. Spring brings snowmelt and potential ice jams on major rivers, contributing to elevated water levels, while fall rain may lead to localized flooding. These seasonal fluctuations impact the hydrology of Becaguimec Stream and its surroundings, demanding close monitoring.
Why the data matters here
Monitoring the water levels of Becaguimec Stream is essential for understanding its current state and trends over time. Today's reading reveals the stream’s elevation compared to the median for this calendar day across the historical record of over 53 years. This comparison provides critical context, as it helps track seasonal patterns, extreme weather events, and long-term changes. The Water Survey of Canada operates this station and emphasizes the importance of consistent data collection to guide conservation efforts and inform local water management strategies.
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.
