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 Moanalua Stream near Kaneohe, Oahu
Moanalua Stream - A vibrant watercourse on Oahu’s windward coast.
Moanalua Stream flows through the lush landscapes near Kaneohe on the eastern side of Oahu. This vibrant stream reflects the unique hydrology of the region, where rain-driven flash floods can occur with little warning, particularly during seasonal storms influenced by trade winds. With a catchment area of roughly 0.9 square miles, the dynamics of Moanalua Stream are distinctly shaped by its environment.
The watershed context
The Moanalua Stream is part of the broader Oahu watershed, a region characterized by its steep gradients and rapid changes in elevation. Rainfall in Oahu is concentrated, leading to quick responses in stream flows that can rise dramatically in a short period following rain events. The stream serves as one of several water bodies in the vicinity, with peers such as Heeia Stream and Helemano 6 Reservoir contributing to the intricate hydrological network that supports the local ecosystem and communities.
Why the data matters here
Understanding the water levels of Moanalua Stream is crucial for flood management and environmental monitoring. The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) measures the stream's discharge and water elevation, providing vital data on its current condition. Today’s reading, when compared to the historical median for this calendar day over the past 50 years, offers further insight into the stream's behavior and helps predict potential flooding risks in the area. By tracking these trends, residents and authorities can better prepare for the sudden changes that tropical rainfall can bring.
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.
