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 Gallinas Creek at Gallinas
Gallinas Creek - a vital watercourse in New Mexico’s Pecos Headwaters.
Gallinas Creek is a key feature of the Pecos Headwaters, flowing through a landscape shaped by the distinctive hydrology of the Arid Southwest. This regional environment is characterized by high-country snowmelt that provides essential spring flows, while the summer monsoon season often leads to sudden flash floods. In this region, long dry stretches between precipitation events underscore the importance of each drop of water to local ecosystems and communities.
Why the data matters here
Monitoring data for Gallinas Creek is provided by the U.S. Geological Survey, reflecting its significance in understanding water conditions in the area. Although the station at Gallinas Creek currently does not track discharge, the data collected is crucial for assessing the creek's health and trends over time.
As of the latest reading, it is important to compare today's water levels against the median for this calendar day from the station's historical record of over four years. This context is invaluable, as raw elevation figures alone do not fully represent the dynamic nature of stream conditions. Understanding how current levels stack up against median data helps residents, cottagers, and flood-watchers alike to make informed decisions regarding water usage and management in this challenging landscape.
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.
