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 Chehalis River near Harrison Mills
Chehalis River - A vital tributary near Harrison Mills.
The Chehalis River flows gracefully near Harrison Mills, a noteworthy tributary contributing to the Harrison watershed in British Columbia. This river, which measures discharge at its monitoring station, is an essential part of the regional hydrology. Draining approximately 382 square kilometres, the Chehalis River is situated within an area that showcases the dynamic interactions between mountain snowmelt and seasonal precipitation patterns, typical for British Columbia's mountainous terrain.
The watershed context
The Harrison watershed, characterized by mountainous features, experiences seasonal rhythms strongly influenced by snowpack. The freshet typically driven by melting snow in the spring and early summer is a significant contributor to the river's flow. As temperatures rise, the snow melts, swelling river levels from May through July. This seasonal cycle is crucial for maintaining the ecological balances and water availability for local communities. The Chehalis River is part of a network of waterways, including notable peers like the Harrison River and several lakes and creeks, which together create a vital hydrological tapestry throughout the region.
Why the data matters here
Understanding the water data from the Chehalis River is essential for local stakeholders, including anglers, farmers, and flood-watchers. The discharge measurements from the monitoring station provide vital insights into water availability and help manage activities reliant on this resource. With a record of over 45 years, this station offers a reliable dataset that can be compared against historical norms. Today's reading, positioned against the median for this calendar day from the Water Survey of Canada, helps interpret current water levels within the context of historical patterns, offering a clearer understanding of trends that influence the river and its surrounding 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.
