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 Lyndhurst Creek at Lyndhurst
Lyndhurst Creek - a seasonal pulse of water.
Lyndhurst Creek flows through the heart of Ontario's Cataraqui watershed, offering a glimpse into the seasonal rhythms of the region's waterways. This river is part of a broader ecosystem that sees significant changes throughout the year, characterized by a distinct pattern driven by snowmelt and seasonal drawdown.
The watershed context
The Lyndhurst Creek watershed spans an area of approximately 272 square kilometres. As snow melts in late April and May, the creek swells, marking the spring freshet that rejuvenates the entire watershed. Following this surge, and as summer approaches, the creek experiences a natural decline in water levels from July to September, influenced by evaporation and reduced inflow. This dynamic is not only crucial for maintaining habitat but also serves as a vital freshwater source for the surrounding communities.
Why the data matters here
The hydrological data from Lyndhurst Creek is provided by the Water Survey of Canada, capturing its behavior over more than 50 years. What’s noteworthy about the readings is how they reflect the creek’s day-to-day changes against historical patterns. Today’s level, compared to the median for this calendar day, provides unique insight into whether the creek is experiencing higher or lower flows than typical for this time of year. Such information is invaluable for local residents, anglers, and those interested in the health of the Cataraqui watershed. Observing these fluctuations enhances our understanding of seasonal water behavior, which is vital for water management and ecological preservation.
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.
