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 Blw Duck Creek Conf near Henderson
Lv Wash Blw Duck Creek Conf near Henderson - a vital conduit in the arid landscape.
Located in the heart of Nevada, the Las Vegas Wash is a significant feature for local hydrology, particularly below the confluence with Duck Creek near Henderson. This area is characterized by its dynamic water systems influenced by the region's arid climate. Seasonal patterns are shaped by the melting of mountain snow in spring, which contributes to peak flows, while summer thunderstorms can occasionally lead to localized flash flooding.
The watershed context
The Las Vegas Wash watershed encompasses several interconnected channels, including the notable C-1 Channel, which runs above the mouth of the wash, and various smaller tributaries like Duck Creek and Flamingo Wash. Each of these contributes to the flow of the wash, illustrating the interconnected nature of the local hydrology. The wash plays an integral role in managing stormwater and providing habitat for local wildlife, serving as a lifeline in an otherwise dry landscape.
Why the data matters here
Accurate data from the water level monitoring station (operated by the U.S. Geological Survey) is crucial for understanding the hydrological conditions of this area. Today's reading provides a snapshot that can be compared against the historical median for this date across the station's record of more than 10 years. This comparison is useful for recognizing trends and anomalies, helping local farmers, residents, and flood-watchers make informed decisions based on the current hydrological state.
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.
