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 Clark Creek near Winfield
Clark Creek - A mountain waterway in the Okanagan.
Clark Creek flows gracefully near Winfield, British Columbia, drawing water from a modest catchment area of roughly 17.3 square kilometers. This clear creek serves as a crucial component of the Okanagan watershed, supporting both the wildlife and the communities that rely on its waters.
The watershed context
The Okanagan watershed is known for its diverse topography, characterized by rolling hills and lakes, where intricate ecosystems thrive. Though there are no direct siblings of Clark Creek within the watershed that share the same habitat, its peers include B.x. Creek at B.x. Ranch Park and Coldstream Creek, which experience similar dynamics of seasonal change influenced by mountain hydrology. Typically, the peak water flow in streams like Clark Creek occurs from May to July, thanks to the melting snowpack which significantly contributes to the freshet in these higher elevation ecosystems. This water is vital, feeding into larger water systems where it supports fisheries, agriculture, and recreational activities.
Why the data matters here
Monitoring the water levels and flow at this site is essential for understanding the overall health and sustainability of the watershed. The current data from the Clark Creek gauge reveals vital information about the creek's behavior throughout the year. Today's reading is an important benchmark to compare against historical levels from the Water Survey of Canada, providing context that goes beyond mere elevation figures. By comparing the current level to the median for this day over the past 49 years, we gain insights into how climatic changes and seasonal variations have shaped the creek’s flow over time. These measurements help inform conservation efforts and water management strategies in this picturesque region of British Columbia.
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.
