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 Martin Creek near Paradise Valley
Martin Creek - A vital flow in the Little Humboldt watershed.
Nestled in the heart of the arid Great Basin, Martin Creek is an essential watercourse flowing near Paradise Valley, Nevada. It plays an important role in the local hydrology, especially in the context of its neighboring rivers. As a tributary to the Little Humboldt watershed, this creek helps to sustain the region's ecosystems and agricultural activities.
The watershed context
Martin Creek drains approximately 175 square miles above the station, contributing to the dynamics of the Little Humboldt watershed. This part of Nevada is characterized by the influence of mountain snowmelt, which drives spring peaks on the perennial rivers. Summer storms can lead to localized flash flooding, particularly affecting the ephemeral channels within this region. The diverse water flows from Martin Creek interact with the surrounding environment and are vital for the local flora and fauna.
Nearby, the creek's peers include the Lower Humboldt River and its forks, which further demonstrate the interconnectedness of waterways in this area. This network ensures that water is distributed across the landscape, playing a crucial role in maintaining the balance of the ecosystem.
Why the data matters here
Today's measurements at Martin Creek are essential for understanding the current hydrological conditions. By tracking water levels, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) provides vital information that helps manage resources and mitigate potential flooding risks. Comparing today's reading against the median for this calendar day over the station's 50 years of historical data offers insight into seasonal trends and fluctuations, which are pivotal for local agriculture, wildlife management, and general flood preparedness. The hydrological data collected serves as a critical resource for cottagers, farmers, and others who rely on the health of this waterway.
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.
