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 Diamond Creek near Peach Springs
Diamond Creek - a vital tributary of the Grand Canyon.
Diamond Creek flows through the breathtaking landscapes of the Grand Canyon, bringing life to this extraordinary area in Arizona. As a tributary, it plays a crucial role in feeding the mighty Colorado River and supports the unique ecosystems found within the canyon.
The watershed context
The watershed of Diamond Creek is part of the larger Grand Canyon region. This area is characterized by its arid Southwest hydrology, where summer monsoon thunderstorms can lead to sudden and violent flash floods, while winter storms and snowmelt from the high country nourish the larger river systems. The catchment that drains into Diamond Creek spans approximately 279 square miles, allowing rainwater and snowmelt to flow towards this important waterway, albeit with transitions that may lead to sections running dry between significant rainfall events.
Neighboring water bodies such as the Colorado River, Havasu Creek, and Hermit Creek also contribute to the hydrological richness of this iconic landscape. The confluence of these waters creates a dynamic environment, vital for local flora and fauna, as well as for those who visit the Grand Canyon for recreation and natural exploration.
Why the data matters here
Understanding the data from the USGS gauge at Diamond Creek is essential for anyone interested in the health and behavior of this watershed. The gauge not only measures elevation but also provides discharge data, which offers insights into how much water is flowing through this creek. This information is particularly relevant during the season of summer monsoons or winter storms, when water levels can change rapidly, presenting potential hazards as well as opportunities for anglers and outdoor enthusiasts.
Today's reading should be compared with the median for this date across 33 years of historical data. This comparison helps provide context—elevation alone can be misleading without understanding how it fares against typical patterns. This reading is invaluable in understanding the creek's current health and behavior as monitored by the USGS.
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.
