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 Maggie Creek above Maggie Creek Cyn near Carlin
Maggie Creek - a vital waterway in the Upper Humboldt Basin.
Maggie Creek flows gracefully above Maggie Creek Canyon near Carlin, Nevada, contributing to the rich hydrology of the Upper Humboldt watershed. This river's vital role is marked by the significance of dynamic seasonal changes, particularly influenced by the region’s arid Great Basin environment, where the melt from mountain snow drives the spring peaks.
The watershed context
With a catchment area of approximately 332 square miles draining into Maggie Creek, this river draws from the unique conditions of its surrounding landscape. The Upper Humboldt watershed hosts several neighboring waterways, including the Humboldt River and Hanks Creek, which further highlight the region's intricate water connectivity. The Upper Humboldt watershed, characterized by its ephemeral streams and variable flow from summer thunderstorms, experiences significant fluctuations in water levels, making it an essential area for monitoring and understanding hydrological patterns.
Why the data matters here
Today’s reading at Maggie Creek, monitored by the U.S. Geological Survey, provides essential insights for those relying on steady water inflows, especially local farmers, anglers, and those observing seasonal changes. Tracking the current water level against the historical median for this day—over the last 30 years—offers a context that raw elevation alone cannot provide. This approach helps assess water availability and flood risks more accurately, aiding both local environmental management and personal planning.
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.
