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 Clare River near Bogart
Clare River - a vital tributary in the Moira watershed.
Flowing gently through Ontario's countryside, the Clare River serves as a key waterway in the region, contributing to the health of the Moira watershed. Stretching across a 319 square kilometer catchment area, this river supports various ecological systems and aids in local agriculture and recreation.
## The watershed context The Clare River is part of the Moira watershed, which encompasses several interconnected waterways including the Black River and the Moira River itself. Together, these rivers form a network that supports both wildlife and human activities from farming to fishing. The influence of seasonal hydrology is distinctly observed here, with snowmelt driving flow in spring and natural drawdown occurring during the summer months. As the colder months approach, ice formation signals an early-winter decline in water levels, making each season a unique experience along the river.
## Why the data matters here Today's reading from the Clare River gauge contributes valuable information for understanding its hydrology. The current flow measurement is essential for monitoring the river's condition, especially in relation to its historical averages. Water levels are compared against the median for this calendar day, giving insight into trends over the past 20 years. This context is critical for local stakeholders, whether they are farmers relying on consistent water levels for irrigation or recreational users planning fishing trips. The data provided by the Water Survey of Canada helps ensure informed decisions are made in response to changing conditions along the Clare River and surrounding landscape.
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.
