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 Hunter Creek near Reno
Hunter Creek - a vital stream in the Truckee watershed.
Nestled near Reno, Hunter Creek is an essential waterway across the arid landscape of Nevada. This river contributes to the Truckee watershed, which has a dynamic hydrology shaped by seasonal patterns of snowmelt and summer thunderstorms.
The watershed context
Hunter Creek drains an area of approximately 11.5 square miles, reflecting a modest yet significant contribution to the greater Truckee watershed. This watershed is characterized by its arid context, where mountain snowmelt fuels spring peaks on perennial rivers, and summer thunderstorms can lead to quick, intense runoff, sometimes flooding local channels. As one of several streams in the area, Hunter Creek plays its part alongside peers such as Davis Creek, Dog Creek, and Galena Creek, making it an important component of the regional hydrological network.
Why the data matters here
The current reading from the US Geological Survey for Hunter Creek is key to understanding the water levels and flow in this area. By comparing today’s measurement with the median for this calendar day, we can assess whether current conditions are typical or indicative of larger trends. With 49 years of historical data available, the context provided by these comparisons can help locals and visitors alike interpret the current state of the creek relative to typical annual behavior patterns. Understanding these fluctuations aids in planning for activities such as outdoor recreation and agricultural needs, as water levels directly influence the landscape throughout the seasons.
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.
