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 Belgo Creek below Hilda Creek
Belgo Creek below Hilda Creek - a vital artery in the Okanagan watershed.
Nestled in the beautiful Okanagan region of British Columbia, Belgo Creek flows gracefully as it winds below Hilda Creek, feeding into a wider watershed system characterized by its snowmelt-driven freshets. During the spring months, the surge from melting snowpack can result in heightened water levels, supporting local ecology and replenishing groundwater supplies.
The watershed context
Belgo Creek is part of the Okanagan watershed, which includes a network of rivers and streams feeding into valleys known for their agriculture and recreational opportunities. This area boasts a drainage area of approximately 64.1 square kilometres, drawing water from the surrounding landscape. The creek encounters peer water bodies such as B.x. Creek and Coldstream Creek, enriching the ecological tapestry of the region.
In the Okanagan, the seasonal pattern is heavily influenced by mountain hydrology. Freshwater levels typically peak from May through July as snowpack melts into streams like Belgo Creek. The resilience of these waterways is essential not just for ecosystem health, but also for agricultural practices and municipal water supply.
Why the data matters here
Measuring water levels provides essential insights into the health of Belgo Creek and its role within the Okanagan watershed. The station records discharge and provides a platform for monitoring changes over decades, with historical data spanning over 49 years.
Today's reading of Belgo Creek below Hilda Creek can be contextualized by comparing it to the median level for this calendar day across the station's historical data, curated by the Water Survey of Canada. This comparison offers a clearer picture than raw elevation alone, indicating trends and fluctuations that inform both local residents and resource managers about the current status of water flow in the creek.
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.
