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 Forest City Stream below Forest City Dam
Forest City Stream - A vital stretch of the St. Croix watershed.
Located in New Brunswick, Forest City Stream flows just below the Forest City Dam, serving as a significant contributor to the St. Croix watershed. This watercourse is vital for local hydrology, supporting both ecological health and recreational activities along its banks.
The watershed context
The St. Croix watershed, encompassing a diverse landscape, supports various aquatic ecosystems and is a crucial resource for nearby communities. The watershed drains approximately 346 square kilometres above the Forest City Stream station, which is significant for understanding the area's hydrology. Forest City Stream is among the key tributaries in the region, alongside peers such as Dennis Stream near St. Stephen and Grand Falls Flowage at Grand Falls. The region is influenced by Atlantic hydrology, characterized by a spring snowmelt freshet, potential ice-jam risks on larger rivers, and a tendency for fall rain floods.
Why the data matters here
Monitoring flows at the Forest City Stream station (01AR011) provides valuable insights into the changing conditions of the waterway over time. Today's reading is compared against the median for this calendar day across more than 51 years of historical data maintained by Water Survey of Canada. This context allows for a better understanding of current stream conditions relative to historical patterns, offering essential information for flood-watchers, anglers, and land-use planners in the area.
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.
