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 Cleve Creek near Ely
Cleve Creek - A vital flow in the Spring-Steptoe Valleys.
Cleve Creek flows through the arid landscape near Ely, Nevada, contributing to the local hydrology within the Spring-Steptoe Valleys. This region is characterized by its unique Great Basin climate, where mountain snowmelt typically drives spring peaks on perennial rivers, while summer thunderstorms can lead to local flash floods.
The watershed context
The drainage area for Cleve Creek encompasses roughly 31.8 square miles, capturing precipitation and runoff before it reaches the gauge. While many water channels in this area are ephemeral, Cleve Creek remains a perennial stream, reflecting the importance of consistent water availability for local ecosystems. Nearby drainage peers, such as Shoshone Pond Well 2 Outflow and Steptoe Creek, further illustrate the interconnectedness of water bodies in this landscape.
Why the data matters here
Monitoring is crucial to understand the dynamics of Cleve Creek, particularly given the variability of the hydrology in the arid Great Basin. Current data from the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) provides insights into streamflow conditions, which are essential for local agriculture, recreation, and the health of the surrounding ecosystems. Today's stream gauge reading, in relation to the historical median for this calendar day over the past 50 years, gives context to current conditions. Understanding how Cleve Creek's flow compares to historical trends allows residents and stakeholders to make informed decisions about water use and conservation in this delicate 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.
