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 Coyote Creek near Golondrinas
Coyote Creek - A vital waterway in the Mora watershed.
Coyote Creek near Golondrinas is an important river that flows through the Mora watershed in New Mexico. This waterway contributes to the local ecology and supports the diverse needs of its surrounding communities. The creek, which drains a catchment area of approximately 242 square miles, connects with various other streams in the region, such as Mora Creek and Manuelitas Creek, enhancing the flow dynamics of the area.
The watershed context
The Mora watershed encapsulates a landscape shaped by the unique arid conditions typical of the Southwest. High-country snowmelt in the spring season drives flows in Coyote Creek, providing a crucial source of water as temperatures rise and dry conditions settle in. During the summertime, distinct weather patterns emerge, including July-September monsoon storms that can result in sudden and intense flash floods. These seasonal shifts emphasize the variability of flow in Coyote Creek, as long dry stretches may alternate with periods of substantial rainfall.
Why the data matters here
Understanding the data concerning Coyote Creek is essential for various stakeholders, including farmers, cottagers, and flood-watchers. The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) station measuring Coyote Creek publishes data that reflects real-time changes in discharge levels. This information is not just a snapshot; it is a comparative metric against historical median values for the date, making it crucial for informed decision-making regarding water use and management.
Today's reading, when evaluated against the median for this calendar day, helps provide context and reliability beyond mere elevation. This data-driven perspective, maintained by the USGS over more than 50 years, allows for a nuanced understanding of how Coyote Creek functions within its environment, supporting both conservation efforts and sustainable use.
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.
