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 Las Moras Wash (middle Station) near Sasabe
Las Moras Wash - A channel shaped by the arid Southwest's rhythms.
Las Moras Wash, positioned near Sasabe in Arizona, is a vital part of the Brawley Wash watershed. This river station captures the dynamic and often unpredictable water behavior characteristic of the region, where water flows are heavily influenced by seasonal weather patterns. Fed intermittently by summer monsoon thunderstorms and winter storms, the wash reflects the dramatic shifts of an arid climate, providing essential data for understanding these fluctuations.
Why the data matters here
Las Moras Wash serves as a key monitoring point within its local hydrology, describing short-term, flash flood potential that arises during intense summer thunderstorms. With a contributing catchment area of approximately 3.1 square miles, the river captures runoff and local precipitation, which can lead to rapidly changing flow conditions. The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) operates this station, which not only measures water levels but also provides discharge data, a valuable resource for managing water resources and understanding flood risks in the vicinity.
Today's measurement offers insight into current conditions relative to historical data recorded at this station over the past year. This measurement provides a clearer context than merely noting raw elevation by comparing it with the median for this date across the station's short historical record. This helps in assessing how current conditions stack up against typical patterns for this time of year, informing cottagers, farmers, and anyone relying on this waterway.
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.
