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 at Streetsville
Credit River - A vital waterway in Southern Ontario.
The Credit River at Streetsville is a key segment of this important watercourse running through Southern Ontario. Known for its seasonal dynamics, it plays a critical role in the hydrology of the surrounding waters. The downstream area reflects the rich potential for recreation and ecological diversity, making it a focal point for community engagement with nature.
The watershed context
The Credit River is situated within the larger Credit - 16 Mile watershed, which stretches across a significant portion of the region. Draining roughly 775 square kilometres above the station, the river collects runoff and precipitation from its catchment area, influencing both water quality and quantity downstream. This portion of the river is aptly named for the community of Streetsville, where it's enjoyed by locals for activities such as fishing, kayaking, and walking along its banks.
In alignment with the seasonal hydrology of Ontario, this area experiences a spring freshet that generally peaks from late April to May as snowmelt contributes crucial water inflows. During the summer months, natural drawdown occurs, driven by evaporation and reduced inflow. As winter approaches, ice begins to form, marking a slow decline in water levels, which is typical for rivers within this climatic region.
Why the data matters here
Monitoring the current water levels at the Credit River informs not only local recreational planning but also contributes to understanding the broader ecological health of the watershed. Presently, the water level reading is compared against the median for this date, which reflects conditions recorded over the past 20 years. This historical context supplied by the Water Survey of Canada forms a crucial benchmark for assessing current water conditions—it reveals trends and patterns in the river’s behaviour that help to distinguish normal fluctuations from potential flood risks or drought conditions.
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.
