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.
For five years, spring 2019 was the mark every Lake Muskoka decision answered to. In April 2026 the lake went two centimeters higher - and the official books have not caught up yet.

D-24-20 12CCC - A vital spring box in the Upper San Pedro watershed.
The D-24-20 12CCC, also known as the state of Texas Spring Box, serves as an important hydrological feature within the Upper San Pedro watershed in Arizona. This spring box is representative of the intermittent nature of water sources in the arid Southwest, where water flow can vary dramatically due to seasonal rainfall patterns.
The D-24-20 12CCC is part of an intricate network of rivers and springs that help sustain the surrounding ecosystems and communities. While specific measurements of flow and drainage area are not available, understanding the conditions at this spring box is essential for monitoring the health of the local hydrology. The interplay of summer monsoon thunderstorms and winter storms is critical in this region; they can lead to sudden flash floods, while also providing necessary infiltration and recharge to the groundwater systems.
With recorded data only covering one year, the readings from the USGS monitoring station help establish a baseline for understanding seasonal variability. This knowledge is crucial, particularly in areas where many channels may run dry between storm events, impacting both local wildlife and human activities.
Today's reading reflects the importance of real-time monitoring - contextualizing the flow against historical patterns can provide insights into the current hydrological health of the area. The USGS data stream emphasizes how today's measurement compares to the median for this calendar day based on the station's short historical record, ensuring that we can better understand the dynamics at play in this essential spring box.
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.
