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 Jacquet River near Durham Centre
Jacquet River - A flowing corridor in New Brunswick's landscape.
The Jacquet River, located near Durham Centre in New Brunswick, is a significant waterway in the Chaleur Bay - Southwestern watershed. This river is part of a network that includes notable peers such as the Eel River near Dundee, the Middle River near Bathurst, and the Restigouche River above Rafting Ground Brook. With a drainage area of approximately 503 square kilometres upstream of the station, the Jacquet River offers valuable insights into the broader hydrological patterns typical of this Atlantic region.
The watershed context
As part of the Chaleur Bay watershed, the Jacquet River plays a vital role in the local ecosystem and the communities it traverses. The Atlantic hydrology of this area is characterized by a pronounced spring snowmelt and the potential for ice jams on major rivers during the transition from winter to spring. Fall is often marked by rain-induced flooding, while winter brings ice cover that can alter the flow patterns of the river. Understanding these seasonal variations is crucial for those who rely on the river for fishing, recreation, or agriculture.
Why the data matters here
Today, the gauge reading for the Jacquet River near Durham Centre provides essential information by comparing it against the median for this calendar day, derived from more than 60 years of historical data maintained by Water Survey of Canada. This analysis allows for a clearer understanding of the river’s current state relative to its historical patterns, avoiding the misleading nature of raw elevation readings alone. For anyone observing the river’s flow, this context is invaluable in assessing potential changes, whether for flood monitoring, environmental health assessment, or recreational planning.
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.
