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.
For five years, spring 2019 was the mark every Lake Muskoka decision answered to. In April 2026 the lake went two centimeters higher - and the official books have not caught up yet.

Goldstream Creek - A vital waterway in subarctic Alaska.
Goldstream Creek, located below Alabam Creek near Livengood, Alaska, is an important river in the Ramparts-Yukon River watershed. This creek contributes to the intricate hydrology of the region, a landscape defined by its subarctic climate that brings unique seasonal challenges and patterns.
The Ramparts-Yukon River watershed encompasses this stretch of Goldstream Creek, with the creek draining approximately 29 square miles above the monitoring station. This area experiences a distinct seasonal rhythm; spring breakup and snowmelt typically lead to significant annual floods, sometimes complicated by ice jams. Summer sees glacier-fed rivers peaking in flow, while winter brings deep low flows, often under the protective cover of ice.
Today's monitoring data from the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) provides valuable insights into the health and flow patterns of Goldstream Creek. By comparing the current streamflow measurement to the median for this date drawn from the historical dataset encompassing over 16 years, we gain a clearer picture of the creek's behavior and current conditions. Understanding these measurements is crucial for local stakeholders, including those who rely on the water for agriculture, recreation, and ecological health.
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.
