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 Liard River below Scurvy Creek
Liard River below Scurvy Creek - A vital outflow of the Headwaters Liard.
The Liard River below Scurvy Creek flows through the stunning wilderness of Yukon, acting as a crucial passage in the rich hydrology of the Headwaters Liard watershed. This river is projected to be significantly influenced by the seasonal patterns typical of subarctic mountain hydrology, where snowmelt creates peaks in water levels from May to July, a period characterized by abundant runoff.
Why the data matters here
Monitoring the Liard River below Scurvy Creek is essential not only for understanding local water conditions but also for getting a sense of regional hydrology patterns. The gauge at this location measures both elevation and discharge, making it useful for various stakeholders, from local residents to environmental researchers. Today’s reading can provide key insights into the river's current flow dynamics, particularly in the context of its watershed.
With a drainage area of approximately 4,600 square kilometres above the station, the Liard River below Scurvy Creek captures a wide expanse of the surrounding landscape. This makes it a representative gauge for the health and status of water flows downstream, particularly during critical seasonal transitions.
Given the data is taken from eight years of historical records, we can effectively compare today's river level against the median for this date. This approach offers a clearer picture of the river’s behavior over time than a raw elevation figure alone. According to the Water Survey of Canada, these comparisons help gauge the potential fluctuations of water flow, especially in a region where seasonal changes play a dominant role in hydrology.
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.
