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 Humboldt River near Carlin
Humboldt River - a vital artery in Nevada's arid landscape.
The Humboldt River near Carlin serves as a crucial waterways in the Upper Humboldt watershed, a region marked by the challenges of arid Great Basin hydrology. Here, mountain snowmelt fuels spring runoff, which can lead to notable flow levels, while summer thunderstorms may induce localized flash flooding. These seasonal patterns shape both the ecosystem and the communities that rely on this river.
The watershed context
The Humboldt River flows through a drainage area of approximately 4,310 square miles, collecting water from various smaller streams and creeks, including Hanks Creek and Maggie Creek. Its neighbors include multiple tributaries, which enhance its capacity to support local ecology and provide recreational opportunities for cottagers and anglers alike. As you explore the region, you’ll notice the interplay of ephemeral channels and perennial stretches, a testament to the diverse hydrological characteristics endemic to the Great Basin.
Why the data matters here
Today, the river's reading near Carlin is measured by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) against the median for this calendar day over the past 50 years. This comparison offers a deeper context than raw elevation figures alone. It allows for understanding seasonal variations, guiding flood management efforts and helping local residents anticipate changes in water availability that can impact agriculture and recreational activities. By staying informed about water levels, all those who call this area home can better navigate the dynamic rhythms of their environment.
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.
