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.

Water Stories

The flood of record that was overtaken

For five years, spring 2019 was the mark every Lake Muskoka decision answered to. In April 2026 the lake went two centimeters higher - and the official books have not caught up yet.

Lac la Nonne Water Level

Live lake level, flow, historical records and forecast for Lac la Nonne in 57-2,3-W5, AB, Canada, built from official government gauge data.

About Lac la Nonne

Lac la Nonne - A tranquil, remote lake experience.

Lac la Nonne lies within the Central Pembina watershed of Alberta, offering a unique destination for those seeking a connection with nature. Nestled among the rolling foothills, this lake has a catchment area of roughly 309 square kilometers, capturing runoff from the surrounding landscape and providing a habitat for a variety of local flora and fauna.

The watershed context

As part of the Central Pembina watershed, Lac la Nonne is interconnected with several notable water bodies, including Coyote Creek near Cherhill, Paddle River at Barrhead, and Pembina River near Entwistle. The watershed's hydrology is influenced by the late-spring peak flows driven by mountain snowmelt. During the summer months, convective storms can result in sharp rises in water levels, highlighting the dynamic nature of the region's hydrological patterns.

Why the data matters here

Understanding the water levels at Lac la Nonne is crucial for local stakeholders, whether they are recreational users, landowners, or conservationists. Measurements, such as today's reading, are invaluable as they provide context against the historical median for this date, enabling users to assess current conditions meaningfully. The data is provided by the Water Survey of Canada (WSC), which ensures reliable monitoring. By examining today's level against this median reading, one gains a clearer perspective on potential flooding risks or available resources for activities such as fishing and recreational boating, enhancing one's connection to this beautiful lake.

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.
