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 Keogh River near Port Hardy
Keogh River - a vital waterway on northeastern Vancouver Island.
The Keogh River flows near Port Hardy, British Columbia, carving its path through the diverse landscapes of northeastern Vancouver Island. With a drainage area of roughly 122 square kilometres, this river is influenced by the region's unique mountain hydrology, where seasonal snowpack contributes significantly to water flow during the freshet from May through July.
Why the data matters here
Maintaining a close watch on the river's discharge is essential for various stakeholders, including local fisheries and conservationists. The Keogh River is part of a complex network of rivers in the area, sharing its watershed with companions like the Eve River and Nimpkish River. The data collected through the station provides valuable information on the river's health and flow characteristics, essential for understanding ecological dynamics and mitigating potential flood risks. Today's discharge measuring represents an average reading over a historical period of nine years, providing context for interpretation and decision-making. It helps stakeholders differentiate between normal fluctuations and significant changes in flow, ensuring proactive management of this crucial water resource.
Monitoring by the Water Survey of Canada ensures that we can gauge the river's current state against the historical median for this calendar day. Understanding where today's reading stands in relation to that median not only offers a snapshot of the river’s flow but allows for better water management and ecological planning in a region shaped by seasonal variations.
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.
