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 Camp Creek at Mouth near Thirsk
Camp Creek - an essential tributary of the Okanagan watershed.
Nestled within British Columbia’s diverse landscapes, Camp Creek flows gracefully near Thirsk, contributing to the intricate hydrology of the Okanagan watershed. This river not only serves the surrounding environment but also acts as a valuable water source for the local ecosystem and communities. The drainage area above the station encompasses approximately 35.9 square kilometres, highlighting its role in capturing rainfall and snowmelt from the mountainous terrain.
The watershed context
The Okanagan watershed is characterized by its seasonal water dynamics, influenced significantly by the region's snowpack. During spring, mountain runoff, primarily from melting snow, contributes to the river flow, often elevating levels from May through July. As the temperatures rise, the freshet brings a vital boost to Camp Creek, ensuring the ecosystem remains nourished during the drier summer months. Following this peak, the river typically experiences natural declines due to evaporation and reduced inflow—an expected rhythm of mountain hydrology.
Camp Creek’s peers include several important tributaries, such as B.x. Creek and Coldstream Creek, each playing a part in maintaining the vitality of the watershed. Their collective flow supports not only the local flora and fauna but the larger network of lakes and rivers in the region.
Why the data matters here
Monitoring Camp Creek's flow is essential for understanding water availability and predicting seasonal changes. The gauge for Camp Creek provides critical data regarding its discharge, allowing for real-time water management and assessment.
Today’s reading serves as an important indicator of the river's current state in relation to its historical trends—specifically, how it compares to the median level for this calendar day over 49 years recorded by Water Survey of Canada. This contextual information enriches our understanding of daily fluctuations and broader hydrological patterns in this vital ecosystem.
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.
