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 Eel River near Dundee
Eel River - A lively stream in New Brunswick.
The Eel River flows gracefully near Dundee, New Brunswick, representing an essential segment of the Chaleur Bay - Southwestern watershed. This river serves as a vital resource for local ecosystems and communities, linking to nearby waterways such as the Jacquet River and the Middle River, both of which contribute to the rich hydrological tapestry of the region.
The watershed context
Draining roughly 44.9 square kilometres above the Eel River station, this waterway plays a significant role in the area's hydrology. New Brunswick's Atlantic climate influences the river's behavior throughout the year, characterized by a spring snowmelt freshet that can bring with it the risk of ice jams on major rivers, including the Eel. Seasonal cycles shape the river’s flow patterns, where winter sees the river covered in ice, while fall rain can lead to higher water levels.
The Eel River's proximity to other regional rivers, such as the Restigouche River, creates a dynamic environment that affects local wildlife and vegetation. These connections amplify the importance of the Eel River, contributing to both the ecological health and the recreational opportunities available in the area.
Why the data matters here
Understanding the flow metrics from Eel River near Dundee is crucial for local stakeholders who rely on its water. Today’s reading from the Water Survey of Canada provides insight into the current hydrological state of the river, allowing residents and planners to make informed decisions. Comparisons to the median for this calendar day across the station's historical record enhance understanding of today’s conditions, offering context that raw elevation figures cannot provide. This is particularly significant when monitoring for potential flooding risks or assessing the impacts of environmental changes over the years, with the station having been in operation for more than 41 years.
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.
