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 Homestead Weir near Henderson
Lv Wash - A crucial tributary in the Las Vegas basin.
Lv Wash, located near Henderson, Nevada, plays an essential role in the hydrology of the Las Vegas Wash watershed. This river is part of a complex network that channels water through one of the most arid regions in the United States. The wash provides a vital link in the region's water management and contributes to the ecology and urban landscape surrounding Henderson and Las Vegas.
The watershed context
The Las Vegas Wash serves as a natural conveyance for stormwater and runoff, with various tributaries including several significant peers such as C-1 Channel and Flamingo Wash. This interconnected system is shaped by the arid Great Basin hydrology, where the melting of mountain snow during spring results in noticeable peaks in flow. Weather patterns here are characterized by summer thunderstorms that may lead to local flash flooding, while many channels, including parts of the Las Vegas Wash, can become ephemeral during dry spells.
Why the data matters here
The data from the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) regarding the Lv Wash above Homestead Weir is vital for understanding the dynamics of this region's water system. The current river data provides insights into flow conditions, especially important in an area where water management is critical given the arid climate. Today’s flow reading can be compared against the median for this day across the station's record of the past 10 years, offering a valuable context for understanding current conditions relative to historical averages. This comparison is crucial, as it reflects how seasonal variability and precipitation trends influence water levels and help inform local water resource management decisions.
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.
