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 Rose Creek
Humboldt River near Rose Creek - a vital artery in the arid Great Basin.
The Humboldt River near Rose Creek flows through Nevada’s Lower Humboldt watershed, representing a critical resource in a region characterized by its desert-like climate. The river is fed by mountain snowmelt during the spring, which drives its peak flows and is complemented by summer thunderstorms that can lead to local flash floods in some areas. This interplay of hydrological events makes the Humboldt River a significant water source for the surrounding ecosystems and communities.
Why the data matters here
Currently, the Humboldt River is monitored by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), which provides vital data on its discharge. The gauge captures the river’s performance in a landscape often impacted by arid conditions. It has a drainage area of approximately 15,200 square miles, which contributes to the river's flow dynamics.
Today's reading provides valuable insight into the river's current status by comparing it to the historical median for this calendar day. Understanding this context is essential for those—like cottagers, farmers, and flood-watchers—who depend on the river’s water levels for various activities. Having recorded data for just one year, it's an emerging snapshot of the river’s behavior that can inform future assessments.
Monitoring the Humboldt River near Rose Creek is crucial not only for local ecosystems but also for resource management in the broader Lower Humboldt watershed. By keeping an eye on how the current flow compares to the median historical reading, users can better anticipate changes that affect their water use and planning.
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.
