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 Chase Creek above the Mouth
Chase Creek - A vital tributary flowing towards the South Thompson River.
Chase Creek above the Mouth branches out from the mountainous terrain of British Columbia, marking its importance as it converges into the South Thompson River. The creek serves as a significant contributor to the hydrology of the area, draining roughly 293 square kilometres above the station. Its flow is characteristic of a mountain hydrology system, heavily influenced by seasonal snowpack and runoff, with peak flows typically occurring from May to July during the freshet period.
The watershed context
Nestled within the South Thompson watershed, Chase Creek above the Mouth shares its waters with a network of nearby water bodies. Notable peers include Corning Creek near Squilax, East Canoe Creek above Dam, and the Salmon River near Salmon Arm, all of which contribute to the rich hydrological character of the region. These creeks and the South Thompson River at Chase create a dynamic ecosystem influenced by the seasonal rhythms of the British Columbia landscape, where glacier-fed systems ensure sustained water levels through the summer months.
In the context of local agriculture and outdoor activities, understanding how Chase Creek interacts with its neighbors is crucial. Water levels fluctuate, often impacted by climatic conditions, affecting both water users and the ecosystems relying on consistent water flow.
Why the data matters here
Regular monitoring, conducted by the Water Survey of Canada, provides valuable insights into the creek's behavior. This diligence reveals today's measured level in relation to the median historical levels for this date, improving our understanding of typical versus unusual conditions. This morning, the creek's reading can be assessed relative to the median for today's date over a record of 28 years. Monitoring the creek's flow is essential for managing water resources effectively in a region where seasonal fluctuations can significantly influence both the natural environment and human activities.
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.
