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 Jarbidge River Blw Jarbidge
Jarbidge River - A seasonal flow shaped by mountain snowmelt.
Nestled in the rugged landscapes of northern Nevada, the Jarbidge River flows below the town of Jarbidge, showcasing the dynamic hydrology characteristic of the arid Great Basin. This reach of the river plays an important role in the local ecosystem, influenced by seasonal changes that dictate water levels throughout the year.
The watershed context
The Jarbidge River is part of the Bruneau watershed, draining roughly 30.6 square miles above the station. Its waters are fueled primarily by mountain snowmelt during the spring, creating seasonal peaks that are vital for the surrounding habitats. The river connects with other local waterways, including Big Jacks Creek and the Bruneau River, as it journeys through the landscape. In the summer, the river experiences fluctuations due to thunderstorms, which can lead to local flash floods, reinforcing the need for careful monitoring of water levels.
Why the data matters here
Today’s reading from the Jarbidge River below Jarbidge is an important measurement, collected by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS). Understanding the current flow compared against the median for this calendar day across 28 years of data helps track seasonal patterns and any potential shifts in hydrology. This is more revealing than merely looking at raw elevation, as it allows stakeholders—like farmers, anglers, and flood-watchers—to make informed decisions based on historical trends.
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.
