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 Lemon C near Juneau AK
Lemon Creek - A vital waterway near Juneau.
Lemon Creek, flowing near Juneau, Alaska, is an essential part of the local hydrology, contributed by a modest catchment area of approximately 12.3 square miles. This creek is nested within the Lynn Canal watershed, a region characterized by its certificate of subarctic hydrology, featuring interesting seasonal variations influenced primarily by spring snowmelt.
The watershed context
As part of the Lynn Canal watershed, Lemon Creek plays an important role in the greater ecological makeup of the region. The watershed includes various peers like the Mendenhall River and Antler River, which sustain local flora and fauna while also supporting community needs for recreation and resource management. Seasonal patterns dictate the creek's flow, with spring snowmelt driving annual peaks often susceptible to ice jams. The glacier-fed rivers in the vicinity, including those of the Mendenhall River, typically see their highest flow levels during mid-to-late summer, when glacier runoff contributes to significant increases in water levels.
Why the data matters here
Monitoring the water level of Lemon Creek is vital for understanding its seasonal patterns and predicting potential flood events. The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) actively tracks this location, providing current measurements and context against historical records. With over 24 years of recorded data for this station, today's reading is compared to the median for this calendar day. This comparison is crucial, as it reveals the current conditions of the creek relative to its historical norms and helps in anticipating the implications of varying water levels for the local environment and communities.
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.
