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 Inflow to Sewage Treatment Plant
City of Yuma Inflow to Sewage Treatment Plant - A vital connector in the Lower Colorado River basin.
Situated in the arid landscape of Arizona, the inflow to the City of Yuma's Sewage Treatment Plant plays a crucial role in managing water resources in this desert region. With its close ties to the iconic Colorado River and other irrigation infrastructure, this inflow channel serves not only as a conduit for treated water but also as a lifeline to local agricultural and urban needs.
The watershed context
The City of Yuma Inflow to Sewage Treatment Plant is part of the Lower Colorado watershed, an area characterized by its diverse water management approaches due to the inherent challenges of arid Southwest hydrology. This watershed, while primarily sustained by the mighty Colorado River, includes various channels and canals that help distribute water throughout the region. The inflow channel connects to several peers, including diversion canals and sections of the Colorado River itself, highlighting the interdependent water management systems in place.
In this area, summer storms can lead to flash flooding, which emphasizes the importance of monitoring water levels and flow rates. Additionally, winter storms contribute to the lower river flows while snowmelt from highland areas can supplement water supplies. However, many of these channels run dry between precipitation events, making the continuous flow of treated water from the sewage treatment plant critical for sustaining the area's ecological and agricultural systems.
Why the data matters here
Understanding water levels at the City of Yuma Inflow to Sewage Treatment Plant is essential for effective resource management in a region where water scarcity is a constant concern. This gauge does not just provide raw elevation figures; it plays a vital role in tracking the health of the inflow as it relates to broader hydrological trends across more than 21 years of recording. The operational data is gathered and managed by the U.S. Geological Survey, ensuring that it remains a reliable source for stakeholders ranging from local farmers to city planners.
Today's reading can be compared to the median for this calendar day across the station's historical record, providing insight into current hydrological conditions relative to typical patterns. This contextual understanding can be crucial for managing water use, preparing for potential flooding, or planning for drought periods, making it a valuable resource in this water-scarce 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.
