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 Citizens Ditch at Bloomfield
Citizens Ditch - A vital water route in the Upper San Juan watershed.
Citizens Ditch at Bloomfield is a significant feature within the Upper San Juan watershed, serving as an essential irrigation waterway for the surrounding agricultural land. In this arid region of New Mexico, water resources are paramount, and this ditch channels crucial flows, contributing to the local ecosystem and supporting various agricultural activities.
Why the data matters here
Today's reading from the stream gauge at Citizens Ditch is an essential indicator of the ditch's current status in relation to its long-term averages. While specific historical records are not available for this site, comparing the real-time data against the median for this calendar day helps to understand fluctuations in water flow. Such measurements are particularly vital in an area where high-country snowmelt typically drives spring flows, and there are long dry stretches punctuated by monsoon storms from July to September, which can lead to flash flooding.
The monitoring of Citizens Ditch by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) not only assists farmers and landowners in managing irrigation needs but also provides insight into regional water trends. As seasonal variations occur, understanding the operational status of this waterway becomes increasingly critical for ensuring sustainable water use in this arid environment.
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.
