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 Coils Creek above Horse Creek near Eureka
Coils Creek - A dynamic stream in the Diamond-Monitor Valleys.
Coils Creek flows energetically above Horse Creek, positioned in the heart of the Diamond-Monitor Valleys in Nevada. This river offers a glimpse into the unique hydrology of the arid Great Basin, where local conditions profoundly influence water behavior. As a tributary in this semi-arid landscape, Coils Creek is a vital resource within a region that experiences variable water flow, particularly affected by seasonal shifts.
## The watershed context Coils Creek is situated in a catchment area of approximately 57.5 square miles, draining an ecosystem that thrives on the sporadic but welcome flows from winter snowmelt and summer thunderstorms. These climatic patterns lead to spring peaks typical in mountain regions as snow melts, with occasional summer rainfall contributing to local flash floods. The creek, along with neighboring streams such as Roberts Creek and Slough Creek, plays a critical role in the hydrological framework of the area, ensuring that water is available for the varied flora and fauna that call this region home.
## Why the data matters here Monitoring the flow of Coils Creek is essential for understanding water availability in the Diamond-Monitor Valleys. The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) station at this location provides valuable discharge measurements, which helps in assessing the creek's health and predicting changes related to seasonal weather patterns. Today's reading offers a crucial benchmark by comparing the creek's current flow against the historical median for this calendar day over the last 16 years. This perspective is invaluable: knowing how current conditions stack up against established norms allows for better water management and conservation strategies in this dynamic and challenging 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.
