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 Huachuca Canyon near Fort Huachuca
Huachuca Canyon - A dynamic river shaped by seasonal rhythms.
Nestled in the Upper San Pedro watershed, Huachuca Canyon flows near Fort Huachuca, Arizona. This river showcases the unique hydrological patterns typical of the arid Southwest, where summer monsoon thunderstorms can lead to flash floods, while winter storms and melting snow from the nearby high country sustain water flow throughout the year.
The watershed context
Huachuca Canyon is part of a network of waterways that include several notable peers, such as the Babocomari River and Garden Canyon. Draining an area of approximately 4.1 square miles above the station, Huachuca Canyon responds dynamically to precipitation events in a region known for its stark hydrological contrasts. During summer, intense thunderstorms can bring sudden surges of water, while the winter months may see lower flows as most channels can run dry between events. This cyclical nature of water availability plays a crucial role for the local ecosystems and communities.
Why the data matters here
Monitoring the flow of Huachuca Canyon is vital, as it informs both flood risk management and ecological health assessments. The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) station provides real-time insights not only into the river's elevation but also its discharge, offering a comprehensive understanding of water movement in the canyon. Today’s reading will be compared against the median for this calendar day, drawn from the USGS’s long-term historical record of more than 26 years. This approach provides a more nuanced view of the river's behavior than relying on raw elevation alone, allowing for better assessment of current conditions and their implications.
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.
