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 City of Yuma Diversion at Avenue 9E Pumping Plant
City of Yuma Diversion - A vital conduit in the Lower Gila watershed.
The City of Yuma Diversion at Avenue 9E Pumping Plant plays a crucial role in managing water resources within the Lower Gila watershed in Arizona. This diversion is part of the expansive irrigation infrastructure that supports agricultural activities in this otherwise arid region. The flow levels monitored here are essential for planning and maintaining water supplies through the fluctuating conditions dictated by seasonal storms and winter snowmelt.
The watershed context
The Lower Gila watershed is characterized by its dynamic hydrology, where summer monsoon storms can lead to rapid and intense flash flooding, while winter storms feed the larger rivers through melting snow in the higher elevations. Channels within the watershed often run dry between these dramatic weather events, making the management of water resources even more critical for the communities and farmers who depend on them.
The City of Yuma Diversion's peer structures, including several Gila River turnouts and wasteways, highlight the interconnectivity of water management in this area. These systems work in concert to deliver water to fields and support the agricultural economy, making them vital assets for sustainability in an environment dictated by variable precipitation and erratic river flows.
Why the data matters here
Monitoring the flow at the City of Yuma Diversion is crucial not only for the immediate irrigation needs but also for understanding the broader water supply dynamics. The USGS station measures discharge, providing real-time data that helps gauge conditions against typical historical patterns. Today’s reading can be compared against the historical median for this calendar day, allowing users to assess whether current conditions are above or below the expected levels for this time of year. With more than 11 years of records, this approach offers valuable insights into the management of water supplies in response to the unique challenges posed by the arid Southwest hydrology.
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.
