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 Kaneohe Str blw Kamehameha Highway, Oahu
Kaneohe Stream - A vibrant river in Oahu's lush landscape.
Kaneohe Stream flows gracefully below the Kamehameha Highway on the island of Oahu, Hawaii. This lively stream serves as a crucial part of the region's dynamic hydrology, responding quickly to rainfall and contributing to the unique ecosystem that characterizes this tropical paradise.
The watershed context
Draining roughly 5.2 square miles, Kaneohe Stream is situated within the Oahu watershed, surrounded by various neighboring water bodies such as Heeia Stream and Kahaluu Stream. The rainfall-driven hydrology of this area creates a basin that can rise dramatically in response to sudden downpours, a common occurrence during trade-wind and Kona storm events. These rapid fluctuations can lead to flash flooding, emphasizing the importance of monitoring water levels for local residents, cottagers, and recreational users.
Why the data matters here
Keeping an eye on the data from the US Geological Survey allows us to comprehend the stream's flow dynamics more accurately. As of today, the stream's water level is measured and compared against the median established from over 10 years of historical data. This comparison is critical, as it provides valuable context beyond just the elevation figure - it highlights how current conditions relate to the typical water levels for this time of year. Understanding these variations can guide local communities in preparing for potential floods or planning their water-based activities.
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.
