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 Harris R 1.2 MI AB Mouth near Hollis AK
Harris River - A remote Alaskan waterway.
The Harris River flows through the heart of Alaska, near Hollis, offering a unique glimpse into the region's subarctic hydrology. This river, positioned 1.2 miles above its mouth, plays a critical role in its local ecosystem. While not extensively peer-reviewed, the river showcases the dynamic interactions inherent in an Alaska waterway, feeding into the Coastal Waters of B.C. - Clarence Strait watershed.
Why the data matters here
The USGS station measuring the Harris River provides valuable insights into its discharge levels, a crucial aspect for understanding the river's health and the surrounding environment. In areas with subarctic hydrology, such as this, the seasonal rhythms shaped by spring breakup and snowmelt are vital for flood patterns, often complicated by ice jams. Monitoring discharge fluctuations helps gauge the river's response to these natural cycles.
Today's readings are particularly important, as they reflect not just the immediate state of the river but also provide context by comparing current levels to the median for this calendar day across seven recorded years. This nuanced understanding of water levels outshines simple elevation measurements, offering a more accurate portrayal of hydrological health. The monitoring conducted by the USGS enables stakeholders to make informed decisions regarding conservation, recreation, and regional development along the Harris River.
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.
