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 Lv Wash above Bostick Weir near Henderson
Lv Wash - a vital channel in the arid landscape of Nevada.
The Lv Wash, situated above the Bostick Weir near Henderson, serves as a crucial waterway in the Las Vegas Wash watershed. This river flows through a region shaped by arid conditions, where the seasonal variability in water levels plays a critical role in the surrounding ecosystem and water management strategies.
The watershed context
The Las Vegas Wash is a significant feature within the Great Basin's hydrology, where the dynamics of mountain snowmelt govern spring peaks, while summer thunderstorms may lead to sudden local flash floods. As the wash courses through the landscape, it collects runoff during these critical periods, contributing to a complex network of perennial and ephemeral streams characterized by their responding flow patterns.
Although the specific drainage area for the Lv Wash above Bostick Weir is not available, it participates in a larger system that connects with numerous peers, including C-1 Channel and Flamingo Wash. These tributaries amplify the wash's importance as natural conveyances of water during peak flow events, while also managing the challenges posed by the desert’s semi-arid conditions.
Why the data matters here
Monitoring data from the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), particularly flow readings from the Lv Wash, reveal necessary insights for users like cottagers, farmers, and flood-watchers alike. Today's reading is an essential metric for understanding how current water levels compare to historical data, specifically against the median for this calendar day over the past decade. This context is invaluable, as it provides a clearer picture than raw elevation alone. The comparison allows for informed decisions regarding water usage, environmental health, and potential flood risks, particularly in an arid environment where water is a precious resource.
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.
