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 Jumpingpound Creek near Cox Hill
Jumpingpound Creek - A vital flow of the Central Bow watershed.
Located near Cox Hill in Alberta, Jumpingpound Creek serves as an essential tributary within the Central Bow - Jumpingpond watershed. This river plays a pivotal role in supporting both the local ecology and regional hydrology.
The watershed context
Jumpingpound Creek drains roughly 39 square kilometres, gathering water from surrounding areas and contributing to the health of the Central Bow watershed. Its peers, such as Jumpingpound Creek at Township Rd. 252, Nose Creek above Airdrie, and West Nose Creek at Calgary, also shape the waterways of this region, which are greatly influenced by the unique combination of prairie and foothill hydrology.
The seasonal patterns in Alberta bring a dynamic characteristic to Jumpingpound Creek. Late spring often sees a peak in water levels driven by mountain snowmelt, while summer convective storms can cause rapid rises in flow. This interplay between melting snow and summer rainfall creates a diverse hydrological regime that profoundly impacts the creek's health and behavior.
Why the data matters here
Understanding the current conditions of Jumpingpound Creek is essential for local stakeholders, including farmers, cottagers, and recreational enthusiasts. Continuous data from the Water Survey of Canada enables users to access important information regarding discharge levels, allowing for informed decisions based on real-time measurements.
Today’s reading provides a snapshot of the creek's current state, measured against the median for this calendar day over the past 13 years. This method allows for a more meaningful comparison than simply looking at raw elevation numbers, revealing insights into the creek's seasonal behavior and the implications for those relying on its waters.
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.
