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 River near Redrock
Gila River near Redrock - A vital watercourse in New Mexico's arid landscape.
The Gila River near Redrock flows through the arid landscapes of New Mexico, playing a crucial role in the regional hydrology by contributing to the watershed of the Upper Gila-Mangas. This river is like a lifeline in a region where water is both scarce and precious, offering a habitat for numerous species and supporting the local ecosystem.
The watershed context
Draining roughly 2,829 square miles, the catchment above Gila River near Redrock captures rainfall and snowmelt, which are essential for sustaining flows. The river typically experiences significant variation across the year, driven by snowmelt in the high country during spring and the intense monsoon storms that can occur from July to September, which may lead to flash floods. Long dry stretches often follow these events, underscoring the importance of every drop of water that flows through this vital system.
The Gila River near Redrock is part of a network of nearby water bodies, including the Gila River at Duncan and Gila River below Blue Creek. Each of these rivers interacts with the hydrology of the Upper Gila-Mangas watershed, contributing to the overall water availability and ecological diversity of the region.
Why the data matters here
Understanding the flow and measurements of the Gila River near Redrock is crucial, particularly given the region's unique hydrology. Today's reading, interpreted through the lens of the Water Survey of the U.S. Geological Survey, allows for comparison against the median flow for this day across its 50-year historical record. This context helps provide insight into the current streamflow conditions, enhancing the understanding of seasonal patterns and potential impacts on both the natural environment and human activities.
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.
