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 Burnley Creek above Warkworth
Burnley Creek - a vital waterway in the Trent - Crowe watershed.
Burnley Creek above Warkworth flows as an integral tributary within the Trent - Crowe watershed in Ontario. This river, with a drainage area of approximately 83 square kilometres above the station, is surrounded by the natural beauty of the region, weaving through the countryside and supporting both local wildlife and the surrounding ecosystems.
The watershed context
As part of the Trent - Crowe watershed, Burnley Creek is linked to various nearby waterways, including the Crowe River near Glen Alda, Mayhew Creek near Trenton, and Salt Creek near Codrington. These connections provide a diverse hydrological system that influences water quality and availability throughout the area. The seasonal hydrology in Ontario is dominated by snowmelt-driven patterns, with peak flows typically occurring during the late spring freshet from late April to May. Natural summer drawdown occurs from July to September, while the early-winter season sees a decline as ice begins to form. This rhythm plays a significant role in the overall health of the creek and its ability to support local ecology.
Why the data matters here
Monitoring the flows at Burnley Creek is essential for understanding the health of the surrounding environment. The station not only measures the elevation of water but also provides discharge data, which is crucial for assessing water levels and potential flood risks in the area.
Today's reading reflects the current conditions compared to the median for this calendar day, based on over 42 years of historical data from the Water Survey of Canada. This comparative measurement is vital, as it provides context beyond raw elevation figures, allowing for better insights into water trends and seasonal variations affecting this critical waterway.
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.
