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 near Homer AK
Mf Bradley River - a key tributary of the Lower Kenai Peninsula.
Flowing near Homer, Alaska, the Mf Bradley River offers essential ecological and hydrological benefits to the region. This river captures the dynamics of subarctic hydrology, where the interplay of seasonal changes directly influences its flow and water levels.
The watershed context
The Mf Bradley River is nestled within the Lower Kenai Peninsula watershed, draining roughly 9.1 square miles above the station. This area includes a network of neighboring rivers and creeks, such as the Anchor River and Battle Creek, contributing to the region's rich aquatic habitat. The hydrologic patterns here are characterized by spring breakup and snowmelt, which often drive annual flooding, sometimes accompanied by ice jams. As summer approaches, glacier-fed rivers in Alaska typically see peak flows during mid-to-late summer, while winter brings periods of lower flows, often restricted by ice cover.
Why the data matters here
Monitoring the Mf Bradley River is vital for understanding local water conditions. Today's reading from the USGS gauging station provides important context for both residents and visitors in the area. By comparing the current measurement to the median for this calendar day across the station's historical record of 47 years, we gain insights into the river's behavior over time. Understanding these fluctuations ensures that we are more aware of flood risks and can make informed decisions for activities ranging from fishing to flood management in the Lower Kenai Peninsula.
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.
