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 Burnt River at Three Brothers Falls
Burnt River at Three Brothers Falls - a dynamic waterway in Southern Ontario.
The Burnt River flows through a lush landscape in Ontario, showcasing the natural rhythms of hydrology. This section of the river, measured at Three Brothers Falls, serves as an integral part of the Gull watershed, draining an area of approximately 1,120 square kilometres.
Why the data matters here
Understanding the current conditions of the Burnt River is essential for anyone who relies on its waters. Due to its proximity to other streams like the Burnt River near Burnt River and the Gull River at Norland, this site also plays a key role in regional water management. The river's seasonal hydrology is heavily influenced by snowmelt, typically experiencing a spring freshet from late April to May, followed by a natural summer drawdown from July through September.
Currently, the Burnt River's measurement at Three Brothers Falls reflects today's reading in comparison to historical medians, gathered over more than five years. This not only offers insight into water levels but allows users to gauge how today's conditions stack up against what's typical for this time of year. The analysis, provided by the Water Survey of Canada, highlights the importance of real-time monitoring in understanding watershed behaviour, especially as we consider how regional weather patterns are shifting.
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.
