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 Bertrand Creek at International Boundary
Bertrand Creek - A crucial flow in the Lower Fraser - Coast watershed.
Nestled in British Columbia's rich hydrological landscape, Bertrand Creek marks a notable point of interest at the International Boundary. This creek contributes to the diverse stream network of the Lower Fraser watershed, flowing with a seasonal rhythm influenced by the region's mountain hydrology. Typically, freshet driven by melting snowpack peaks from May through July, while the effects of rainfall can also be felt as the seasons turn.
The watershed context
Bertrand Creek drains roughly 43.8 square kilometers from its surrounding catchment, intertwining with various neighboring bodies of water, including the Alouette River, Cedar Creek, and the Chilliwack River. This network reflects the complexity and richness of the area’s hydrology. The presence of multiple rivers and tributaries creates a dynamic ecosystem, supporting diverse flora and fauna within the surrounding landscapes.
Why the data matters here
The data collected from the Bertrand Creek gauge gives us crucial insight into current water levels and flow measurements. Knowing the creek's water height helps users understand the creek’s behavior compared to historical yearly averages. With only two years of record data available, today's reading can offer valuable context in understanding the creek’s current state alongside long-term trends. Tracking these levels provides an essential resource for local cottagers, anglers, and anyone interested in the health of the watershed. These readings are derived from the Water Survey of Canada (WSC), enabling a comprehensive understanding of both today’s water level against the median for this calendar day historically. This comparative approach is vital for assessing fluctuations and patterns that can inform water management and recreational planning efforts in the region.
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.
