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 Credit River Erin Branch at Hillsburgh
Credit River Erin Branch - A vital watercourse in Ontario's Credit watershed.
The Credit River Erin Branch at Hillsburgh flows through Ontario's rich landscape, serving as an important tributary of the larger Credit River system. Spanning a catchment area of approximately 12.8 square kilometers, this section of the river is integral not only for the local ecosystem but also for the communities that rely on its waters.
The watershed context
The Credit River Erin Branch is part of the Credit - 16 Mile watershed, which encompasses a network of rivers and creeks. This tributary connects to other regional peers, including Cooksville Creek near Cooksville and the Credit River near Orangeville. The seasonal dynamics of the watershed reflect Ontario's snowmelt-driven hydrology, with significant flows typically observed during the spring freshet from late April through May, followed by a natural drawdown during the summer months. Early winter typically sees a gradual decline in water levels as ice begins to form.
Why the data matters here
Monitoring the river's discharge is essential for understanding its health and its role in the broader watershed. The current readings help water resource managers and local communities respond to changing conditions, especially during peak flows in the spring and low flows in summer and winter months. Today’s data for the Credit River Erin Branch at Hillsburgh is crucial; it contributes to our understanding of how this stream is performing compared to historical averages. With a record spanning over 20 years, this information, provided by the Water Survey of Canada, allows for informed decision-making regarding land use and conservation efforts, ensuring the sustainability of this important waterway.
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.
