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 Daily Creek near Rociada
Daily Creek - a modest river in the Mora watershed.
Daily Creek near Rociada is a modest river flowing through the charming landscapes of northern New Mexico, contributing to the Mora watershed. This creek, along with its surrounding peers, plays an essential role in the local hydrology, particularly during the seasonal fluctuations driven by snowmelt and monsoon rains.
The watershed context
Situated within the Mora watershed, Daily Creek connects with several notable nearby streams, including Maestas Creek, Coyote Creek, and Mora Creek. This region is characterized by its arid Southwestern hydrology, where high-country snowmelt in the late spring typically leads to increased flows in rivers, followed by long dry stretches. During the summer months, particularly from July to September, the region experiences monsoon storms that can result in sudden flash floods. These cycles of dry and wet conditions highlight the importance of consistent rainfall for maintaining the health of local aquatic ecosystems.
Why the data matters here
Today's reading from Daily Creek offers valuable insights into the river's current state, especially when compared to historical averages. This stream gauge, operated by the U.S. Geological Survey, provides crucial information that helps monitor changes in water levels over time. The median for this calendar day, drawn from two years of historical data, allows us to understand how today's flow differs from typical conditions, aiding in water management and ecological assessments. Understanding these trends assists cottagers, farmers, and local communities in making informed decisions regarding water usage and flood preparedness, highlighting the creek's significance in the broader context of the Mora watershed.
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.
