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 Hyland River at Kilometre 108.5 Nahanni Range Road
Hyland River - Snowmelt-driven flows through rugged terrain.
Nestled within the Hyland watershed, the Hyland River at Kilometre 108.5 on Nahanni Range Road captures the essence of subarctic mountain hydrology. This river runs through an impressive catchment area of approximately 2,190 square kilometres, showcasing the powerful effects of snowmelt that dominate the seasonal flow dynamics.
The watershed context
The Hyland River's flows reflect the broader hydrological patterns typical of the Yukon region, where snowmelt initiates a significant rise in water levels from May through July. As temperatures rise, the winter snowpack gives way, feeding the river and shaping its course. While much of the summer flow can also be sustained by glacial contributions, the Hyland River presents a unique opportunity to observe the dynamics of a river that benefits primarily from nature's melting cloak during these warmer months.
In winter, flows enter a notably low phase, characteristic of the region’s cold climate. This seasonal rhythm leads to stark contrasts throughout the year, with winter lows giving way to robust seasonal peaks, driven primarily by the spring thaw.
Why the data matters here
Understanding the data from the Hyland River at Kilometre 108.5 is vital for those who live and work in the region, as it offers insights into the river's current conditions, future water availability, and potential flood risks. Today's reading informs us about the river's health and flow characteristics, measured against a historical backdrop.
As the Water Survey of Canada measures river levels, today's elevation is compared against the median for this calendar day, a valuable perspective that transcends raw data. This approach, taking into account 48 years of historical record, allows for a better understanding of trends and anomalies that may affect the surrounding ecosystem and local activities.
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.
