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 Hassayampa River near Arlington
Hassayampa River - A vital link in an arid landscape.
The Hassayampa River, located near Arlington, Arizona, is a crucial waterway in the arid Southwest, playing an important role in the local hydrology. This river, part of a watershed that spans an expansive area, relies heavily on both seasonal monsoons and winter storms for its flow. With a drainage area of roughly 1,471 square miles, the river's character is shaped by the variability of precipitation, which can range from dry spells to sudden, intense storms.
The watershed context
The Hassayampa River watershed is influenced by the region's distinct climatic patterns. During the summer, monsoon thunderstorms sweep through, creating the potential for violent flash floods. This is followed by winter storms and snowmelt from higher elevations, which contribute to flows within the river and its tributaries. However, in between these events, many channels can run dry, emphasizing the unpredictable nature of water availability in this arid landscape. The Hassayampa River near Arlington adds to the flow dynamics of the watershed, connecting with other streams like the Hassayampa River near Morristown, fostering an intricate network of waterways.
Why the data matters here
Today's reading from the Hassayampa River gauge, operated by the U.S. Geological Survey, allows us to understand these seasonal fluctuations better. It provides insight into the current flows compared against historical data collected over the last 48 years. Evaluating this reading against the median for today's date can offer an important perspective, illustrating how current conditions measure up to typical historical flows. This context is essential for local residents and stakeholders who rely on the river's water for various uses, from agriculture to recreation.
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.
