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 Iskut River below Johnson River
Iskut River below Johnson River - Flowing through BC's rugged landscape.
The Iskut River, located below the Johnson River, winds through the pristine wilderness of British Columbia. This river is part of the Iskut watershed, encompassing a substantial drainage area of approximately 9,500 square kilometres above the station. Characterized by the striking topography of the region, the Iskut River plays a vital role in the local ecosystem and hydrology.
The watershed context
This segment of the Iskut River is influenced by the region's mountain hydrology. Typically, the freshet in this area is driven by snowpack, leading to peak flows from May to July, when the snowmelt is at its height. As spring progresses into summer, flows may remain elevated due to glacier-fed systems, presenting a dynamic water environment that can change rapidly with seasonal shifts.
Why the data matters here
Monitoring the data from the Iskut River below Johnson River is crucial for understanding local hydrological patterns and managing water resources effectively. Importantly, today's reading can be compared against the historical median for this calendar day, allowing for better insight into ongoing changes or trends in river levels. The data collected from this site has been recorded over 49 years by the Water Survey of Canada. This comparison with the median provides a reliable context for current conditions, surpassing the mere look at raw elevation values alone.
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.
