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 Dry Beaver Creek near Rimrock
Dry Beaver Creek - a seasonal watercourse shaped by the climate.
Nestled in the heart of Arizona's Upper Verde watershed, Dry Beaver Creek flows near Rimrock, where the landscape reflects the characteristics of arid southwest hydrology. As a river, it has a unique seasonal rhythm, driven primarily by summer monsoon thunderstorms that can lead to rapid flash flooding, while winter storms and snowmelt feed larger rivers in the region.
The watershed context
The creek drains an area of approximately 142 square miles, where its waters are intimately connected with the broader conditions of the Upper Verde watershed. Surrounding waters, including Beaver Creek and Big Chino Wash, play a role in the hydrology, highlighting the interconnected nature of these water bodies. The dynamic flow of Dry Beaver Creek is influenced by the erratic precipitation patterns typical of the area; rain events can swiftly transform the creek's flow from dry to dangerously swift, underscoring the importance of monitoring this watercourse.
Why the data matters here
Today’s water reading is important for understanding current conditions in Dry Beaver Creek. The USGS monitors this site not only to provide real-time data but also to establish trends over time with its 50 years of records. By comparing today’s measurement to the median for this calendar day, users can gauge how the current flow relates to historical norms. This context is crucial for residents and visitors in the area, alike, whether they are navigating flood risks or planning recreational activities along the creek.
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.
