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 Jacks Canyon Creek near Winslow
Jacks Canyon Creek - a dynamic tributary within the Middle Little Colorado watershed.
Nestled in the arid landscape of Arizona, Jacks Canyon Creek near Winslow acts as a vital watercourse, feeding into the Middle Little Colorado watershed. This creek demonstrates a seasonal dynamism shaped by the region's distinct hydrology, where summer monsoon thunderstorms can lead to rapid and formidable flash floods, while winter storms contribute meltwater from the higher elevations, nurturing surrounding ecosystems and rivers.
The watershed context
Draining roughly 295 square miles upstream, Jacks Canyon Creek plays a significant role in the local hydrological framework. Its flow often runs intermittently, a characteristic of many southwestern streams that thrive on sporadic moisture influxes. Among its peers are notable bodies of water including the Cragin Dam Reservoir near Pine and the Little Colorado River at Holbrook. These connections underscore the creek's contribution to the larger water system, particularly the Little Colorado River, which further supports the surrounding habitats and agricultural activities.
Why the data matters here
The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) monitors Jacks Canyon Creek, providing crucial data that reflect the creek’s conditions. Today's reading helps assess current water levels against the median for this date over the past twenty years. This comparison offers a more meaningful context than a raw elevation measurement alone, highlighting trends and ensuring informed decisions for local water management, conservation efforts, and safe recreational activities. Understanding these fluctuations is essential, especially in a region where water is both a precious resource and a dynamic force.
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.
