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 Henderson Creek Blw Vinini Creek near Eureka
Henderson Creek - a lesser-known tributary in the Pine watershed.
Nestled within the arid landscape of Nevada, Henderson Creek is an intriguing waterway that flows below Vinini Creek near Eureka. This region showcases the unique hydrological patterns characteristic of the Great Basin, where mountain snowmelt contributes to seasonal peaks in river flows during spring, giving way to localized flash floods from summer thunderstorms.
The watershed context
Henderson Creek is part of the Pine watershed, draining an area of approximately 27 square miles above the measurement station. This makes it a modest but important contributor to the local hydrology, interacting with neighboring creeks such as Horse Creek and Pine Creek. The surrounding topography of the Great Basin influences the flow patterns, leading to fluctuating water levels that reflect both seasonal changes and precipitation events.
As summer progresses in this arid region, water levels may decline due to evaporation and the often ephemeral nature of many streams. The local climate creates a dynamic environment where water levels can rise sharply in response to sudden storms, impacting the ecology and hydrology of the area.
Why the data matters here
Monitoring statistics for Henderson Creek are critical for understanding both seasonal patterns and long-term changes in water availability. The data provided by the U.S. Geological Survey helps highlight the creek's current condition and its position relative to historical records. Today, the creek's reading is compared to the median for this calendar day over the 16 years of record-keeping. This approach offers a more meaningful context than raw elevation numbers alone, as it captures the creek's flow dynamics and helps anticipate ecological impacts and water resource management needs in this unique region.
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.
