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 Lepreau River at Lepreau
Lepreau River - A vital waterway in New Brunswick.
The Lepreau River flows through New Brunswick, serving as a significant component of the local hydrology in the Magaguadavic watershed. With a drainage area of roughly 232 square kilometres above the gauge, this river is crucial for maintaining ecological balance and supporting the surrounding communities.
The watershed context
The Magaguadavic watershed encompasses a variety of landscapes and is home to other notable water bodies, including the Magaguadavic River and Magaguadavic Lake. Seasonal rhythms are marked by the Atlantic hydrology pattern, where spring snowmelt can cause a freshet, creating both opportunities and challenges for local ecosystems. During the fall, rain events can result in elevated water levels, contributing to the lifecycle of the river and its tributaries.
While the Lepreau River is not a major river with a parent river to consider, its role within the watershed is integral to the life and economy of the region. The surrounding area is likely characterized by forests and wetlands, which further support biodiversity and water quality.
Why the data matters here
Today’s reading from the Lepreau River gauge indicates the current water level, which is compared against the historical median for this date across over 109 years of data. This comparison is vital as it allows for an understanding of current conditions relative to the long-term averages, providing insights into trends such as flooding or drought risk. The data is supplied by Water Survey of Canada, which ensures that the information reflects reliable historical context, making it a key resource for residents, cottagers, and those engaged in agriculture or conservation in the area.
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.
