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 Klondike River above Bonanza Creek
Klondike River above Bonanza Creek - a vital waterway in the Klondike region.
The Klondike River above Bonanza Creek is an important segment of the extensive river system flowing through Yukon Territory. This section of the Klondike is characterized by its significant catchment area, draining roughly 7,820 square kilometres above the station, reflecting the vast and often rugged terrain of the subarctic landscape. The Klondike River, known for its historical significance during the gold rush era, remains a critical resource for local communities and wildlife.
The watershed context
Nestled within the Klondike watershed, this river reaches its peak flow due to snowmelt, typically occurring from May through July. This seasonal pattern is a hallmark of the subarctic mountain hydrology that defines the region. During this peak period, glacial runoff also contributes to the river's volume, allowing for robust water levels through the summer months. However, the river experiences notable lows in the deep winter months, influenced by freezing conditions and reduced inflow.
In addition to Bonanza Creek, the Klondike River above Bonanza Creek is monitored alongside other nearby stations, including the Klondike River at Rock Creek and the Little South Klondike River below Ross Creek. These neighboring rivers enhance the understanding of water flow dynamics in this complex watershed, highlighting the interconnectivity of these natural waterways.
Why the data matters here
Today's reading from the Klondike River above Bonanza Creek offers valuable insights into the hydrology of the area compared against the median for this calendar day from the station's historical record, which spans more than 49 years. This comparative approach, utilized by Water Survey of Canada, allows for a deeper understanding of current river conditions rather than relying solely on raw elevation figures. Monitoring these water levels is essential for various stakeholders, including local residents and ecologists, who are keenly aware of how fluctuations can impact both the environment and daily life in this unique 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.
