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 Carrot River near the Pas
Carrot River - a vital waterway in Manitoba.
The Carrot River near the Pas flows gracefully through Manitoba, representing a crucial component of the Central Saskatchewan - Lower Carrot watershed. This river plays a significant role in the local hydrology, contributing to the diverse ecology and serving as a vital resource for the surrounding communities.
Why the data matters here
The Carrot River, draining roughly 13,600 square kilometres above the station, is essential for monitoring water levels and understanding the seasonal rhythms of the region. In Manitoba, spring snowmelt is the defining hydrological event, leading to potential flooding in river systems like the Carrot. The data collected here provides valuable insights into water flow and level patterns, which are critical for flood management and ecological health.
Today’s reading from the Carrot River is compared against the median for this calendar day, based on a historical record spanning more than 13 years. This approach allows for a clearer understanding of the river's current status, going beyond mere elevation numbers to assess how today’s conditions stack up against established norms. The Water Survey of Canada continuously monitors this vital resource, ensuring that communities are informed and prepared for seasonal changes.
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.
