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 Grand Falls Flowage at Grand Falls
Grand Falls Flowage - A key feature of the St. Croix watershed.
The Grand Falls Flowage at Grand Falls serves as an important segment of the St. Croix watershed in New Brunswick. With a substantial drainage area of approximately 3,390 square kilometres, this body of water plays a critical role in the local hydrology and ecology. The flowage acts as a connector within the watershed, influencing nearby waterways such as Dennis Stream and Spednic Lake.
Why the data matters here
Today’s reading is derived from a long-term data set extending over more than 46 years, enabling a comprehensive understanding of the flow conditions in this area. Although the gauge does not measure discharge, monitoring the flow levels helps assess current trends and conditions. Understanding today’s water measurement relative to the median for this calendar day is vital, as it provides critical context regarding seasonal fluctuations and anomalies.
During the Atlantic hydrology season, the natural rhythm of water flow in New Brunswick is shaped by conditions such as snowmelt in spring, which can lead to freshet conditions and potential ice-jam risk on major rivers. The data garnered from the Grand Falls Flowage can inform local and seasonal changes, helping cottagers and anglers alike to better prepare for changing water levels and conditions.
By focusing on the comparison of today’s reading to the median, users can derive actionable insights into the evolving water levels. This is particularly important for users engaged in recreational activities or land management. This gauge’s record by the Water Survey of Canada underscores the flowage's significance in understanding the broader St. Croix watershed.
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.
