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 Eagle Creek at Eagle School Road, near Morenci
Eagle Creek - a dynamic river shaped by summer storms.
Eagle Creek flows through the rugged terrain near Morenci, Arizona, contributing significantly to the Upper Gila-San Carlos Reservoir watershed. This creek is part of a hydrological landscape where intermittent flow patterns reflect the region's arid climate, primarily influenced by summer monsoon thunderstorms and seasonal snowmelt from higher elevations.
The water and the watershed
Eagle Creek's reach provides a crucial water source in a region characterized by its dry spells punctuated by intense rain. These summer monsoon storms often lead to sudden, violent flash floods, demonstrating the creek's capacity to respond dramatically to rainfall. While the creek does see flow during winter due to snowmelt upstream, it often runs dry between these significant weather events. This means that, during the dry months, much of the water users, such as farmers and local wildlife, must carefully manage their understanding of the creek's unpredictable cycles of water availability.
Surrounded by a diverse ecosystem, the creek is flanked by various peers, such as Bonita Creek and the Gila River, which further amplifies its ecological importance in the region. Each of these waterways plays a role in supporting the wildlife and the specific flora adapted to arid conditions, showcasing the interconnectedness of this watershed.
Why the data matters here
Monitoring the water levels at Eagle Creek is essential for understanding both local hydrology and broader water resource management. Today's reading from the US Geological Survey reveals how current conditions compare to historical patterns, measuring significant changes against the median for this calendar day over eight years of recorded data. Essentially, this data tells us whether the creek’s current flow is typical, low, or high for this time of year, providing insights vital for those relying on its waters.
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.
