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 Gila Monster Farms Turnout NO. 2 near Yuma
Gila Monster Farms Turnout NO. 2 - A vital point on the Lower Gila River.
The Gila Monster Farms Turnout NO. 2, located near Yuma, Arizona, serves as an important gauge along the Lower Gila River. This river segment plays a critical role in managing water resources for surrounding agricultural and urban areas, especially considering the unique hydrological dynamics of the arid Southwest.
The watershed context
The Gila Monster Farms Turnout NO. 2 is part of the Lower Gila watershed, which is characterized by its responsiveness to seasonal weather patterns. The summer monsoon thunderstorms can lead to sudden and intense flash floods, while winter storms contribute to higher flows primarily driven by snowmelt from nearby higher elevations. In between these events, many channels, including portions of the Gila River, can run dry. This makes the flow measurements at the turnout particularly important for understanding current conditions and anticipating any potential shifts, both beneficial and challenging, in water availability.
Nearby peers such as the Bruce Church Wasteway and other diversions serve similar functions, reflecting the intricate network of water management in the region. Each station plays a role in gauging the overall health and efficiency of the Lower Gila system.
Why the data matters here
Today's readings from the Gila Monster Farms Turnout NO. 2, as monitored by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), provide essential information about river conditions relative to its historical trends. This station has been recording data for approximately 19 years, allowing for a well-rounded historical context. Today's measurement can be compared against the median for this calendar day across the station's record. Understanding how current readings stack up against this median is crucial. It offers insight not only into immediate conditions but into broader hydrological trends over time, which is especially significant in an area that experiences such variability in water flow and availability.
Staying informed about these readings helps cottagers, farmers, and residents plan accordingly, ensuring both safety and stewardship of this vital water resource.
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.
