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 Klehini R near Klukwan AK
Klehini River - a vital artery in the Chilkat-Skagway watershed.
The Klehini River, located near Klukwan, Alaska, serves as an essential watercourse within the Chilkat-Skagway Watershed. With a catchment area of roughly 285 square miles draining into the river, it plays a crucial role in the regional hydrology, particularly influenced by the subarctic climate.
The watershed context
The Chilkat-Skagway Rivers watershed features a dynamic network of rivers, including peers such as the Chilkat River and the Taiya River. These waterways are characterized by spring breakup and snowmelt, which often drive annual flooding events, especially in the presence of ice jams. The warm summers typically see peak flow periods for glacier-fed rivers, while the harsh winters lead to significantly lower flows, often occurring under ice. This seasonal rhythm is essential for local ecosystems and communities alike, providing both habitat and resources.
Why the data matters here
The Klehini River station’s measurements, taken by the U.S. Geological Survey, include discharge metrics that are vital for understanding current hydrological conditions. The data from the station can inform anglers looking for optimal fishing conditions or guide locals preparing for potential flooding scenarios.
Monitoring the river's flow, particularly against the median for this calendar day over the past 45 years, provides crucial context for the water level. Today's reading can indicate how current conditions may differ from historical norms, helping to gauge the river's response to seasonal shifts. Accessing this data is pivotal for managing resources and planning activities in the region.
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.
