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.

Live river level, flow, historical records and forecast for E Walker River at Morgan Bridge near Wichman Cyn in NV, United States, built from official government gauge data.
E Walker River - a natural flow through the East Walker watershed.
Nestled in Nevada, the E Walker River at Morgan Bridge near Wichman Canyon showcases the arid Great Basin's dynamic hydrology. This river represents a vital link in the East Walker watershed, connecting various tributaries and streams in the region. The landscape's unique characteristics manifest in seasonal variations driven primarily by mountain snowmelt, shaping the river's flow throughout the year.
As measured by the U.S. Geological Survey, the E Walker River is crucial for understanding local water dynamics and ecological health. Current monitoring includes discharge measurements, which provide insights into the river's flow trends. Being part of an area known for its ephemeral channels and potential for summer thunderstorms, the data captured at this location is vital. These fluctuations impact local ecosystems, agricultural endeavors, and recreational activities.
The river tends to experience seasonal peaks during spring as snowmelt arrives, followed by diminishing flows in the summer months due to evaporation and reduced precipitation. This pattern emphasizes the importance of regular monitoring; knowing today's reading compared to the historical median for this date delivers a more accurate context for current conditions. Regular readings help gauge ecological impacts and inform water management practices for areas surrounding the river.
With two years of recorded observations, the current conditions can be better appreciated by comparing this day's reading against the median for the date over past years. This relative figure provides greater context than raw elevation figures alone, highlighting variations in water availability essential for users such as anglers, farmers, and those engaging with the natural landscape.
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.
