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 Mf Bradley R below NF Bradley R near Homer AK
Mf Bradley River - A dynamic waterway in the Lower Kenai Peninsula.
The Mf Bradley River flows through the scenic landscapes of Alaska's Lower Kenai Peninsula, a region where the natural rhythms of water are heavily influenced by the subarctic climate. This river is a tributary that supports a variety of ecological communities while linking to its neighboring waterways, offering vital resources for local wildlife and habitats.
The watershed context
The Mf Bradley River flows into an area characterized by a diverse array of rivers, including the nearby Anchor River and the Bradley River, both of which contribute to the mosaic of aquatic environments in the vicinity. Although specific drainage area data for this gauge is not provided, this part of the Lower Kenai Peninsula is known for its intricate network of streams and rivers that play essential roles in regional ecology and hydrology.
The subarctic conditions dictate a seasonal pattern: spring thaws trigger significant melt flows, often resulting in flooding and potential ice jams. As temperatures drop, deep winter low flows under the ice shape the character of the river. The dynamic changes through summer, when the river's flow may peak thanks to late-season glacial melt, providing critical water resources for fish and other aquatic life.
Why the data matters here
Data from the Mf Bradley River is vital for understanding the water processes and health of the surrounding ecosystem. The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) operates this gauge, which provides discharge measurements crucial for monitoring environmental changes and addressing management needs in the region.
Today’s reading from the Mf Bradley River will be compared to the median for this calendar day across the station's historical record of more than 30 years. This comparison provides contextual understanding focusing on water flow trends and seasonal variations, allowing for more informed observation compared to a single elevation reading.
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.
