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 C-1 Channel near Warm Spgs Road at Henderson
C-1 Channel near Warm Spgs Road at Henderson - a vital tributary in the Las Vegas Wash watershed.
The C-1 Channel is an important watercourse situated in Henderson, Nevada, showcasing the dynamics of the arid Great Basin's hydrology. This stream is a part of the Las Vegas Wash, which is significant for its role in managing flood events and sustaining the local aquatic ecosystem. The channel captures essential runoff, contributing to the area's water supply and ecology.
The watershed context
The C-1 Channel drains roughly 3.8 square miles (approximately 9.8 square kilometers) upstream of the gauge and plays a role in the broader context of the Las Vegas Wash. This watershed is notable for its interplay between seasonal weather patterns and the unique geographical characteristics of the Great Basin. Here, winter snowmelt traditionally leads to higher flows in spring, while the summer months can bring thunderstorms that may result in local flash floods. Such events shape the hydrology of the C-1 Channel, altering flow patterns and influencing water levels throughout the year.
Nearby peers like Flamingo Wash and Duck Creek further highlight the interconnectivity of this waterway with the local hydrological system. Each of these channels plays a distinct role in managing runoff and sustaining habitats within this diverse ecosystem.
Why the data matters here
At the C-1 Channel near Warm Spgs Road, flow data is gathered and published by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS). Regular readings provide critical insights into the river's current state and help monitor its response to both natural and human-induced changes. Understanding today's reading compared to the median for this calendar day over the last 36 years offers a valuable perspective on water levels, illustrating fluctuations driven by weather events and regional hydrological patterns. This comparison surpasses a mere elevation figure, establishing a comprehensive view of the channel's health and the surrounding watershed's dynamics.
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.
