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 Indian Creek at Crescent Valley
Indian Creek - a vital waterway in the arid Great Basin.
Indian Creek flows through Crescent Valley in Nevada, showcasing the regions' unique hydrology influenced by its semi-arid climate. This river, part of the Middle Humboldt watershed, plays a crucial role in the local ecosystem and the surrounding communities.
Why the data matters here
The water level and flow measurements from this river, monitored by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), provide vital insights into hydrological conditions in the area. While the specific catchment area for this gauge isn't reported, Indian Creek's flow is influenced primarily by mountain snowmelt, which causes seasonal peaks, particularly in the spring. Summer storms can accelerate flow changes, leading to localized floods, a typical occurrence in the Great Basin's intermittent river systems.
Today's reading at Indian Creek presents a snapshot of the current hydrological conditions, offering a vital comparison against historical data. This reading is essential as it provides context: while raw elevation values indicate immediate water levels, comparing to the median for this calendar day across the station's historical record—spanning one year—illustrates trends and anomalies in flow patterns. Such data empowers local residents to make informed decisions, whether for irrigation, fishing, or flood preparedness.
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.
