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 Coles Creek at Miltonvale Pumping Station
Coles Creek - a vital watercourse in Central Prince Edward Island.
Coles Creek at Miltonvale Pumping Station is an important stream within the Central Prince Edward Island – Hillsborough watershed. This area is characterized by its Atlantic island hydrology, where rainfall and snowmelt play pivotal roles in maintaining water levels. Streams like Coles Creek benefit from groundwater flows that help ensure steady base flows.
Why the data matters here
Today, the gauge at Coles Creek is an essential resource for understanding local hydrological patterns, especially in this dynamic environment. The station has recorded data for over nine years, measuring not just water levels, but also discharge flows that reflect the stream's health and responsiveness to weather conditions. The catchment area draining to this station encompasses approximately 7.16 square kilometers, contributing to the vitality of Coles Creek.
The current water level reading is essential for various stakeholders in the region, from local farmers to those involved in flood monitoring. By comparing today's reading to the median for this calendar day over the station's historical record, users can better understand how current conditions stack up against typical patterns. This context is crucial as it informs water management practices and supports decision-making processes. The data is provided by the Water Survey of Canada, reflecting a commitment to maintaining the health of this essential watercourse.
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.
