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 Mogollon Creek near Cliff
Mogollon Creek - A vital tributary in the Upper Gila watershed.
Mogollon Creek flows near Cliff, New Mexico, serving as an essential watercourse for the surrounding region. This river is an integral part of the Upper Gila watershed, situated in an area characterized by arid conditions. The watershed plays a key role in collecting the seasonal flows that are driven by high-country snowmelt in the spring, followed by dry spells that are punctuated by the occasional monsoon storms between July and September.
The watershed context
Mogollon Creek is one of the tributaries contributing to the Gila River system, joined by various other streams and rivers including the Gila River near Gila Hot Springs and the West Fork Gila River at Gila Cliff Dwellings. With a drainage area of approximately 69 square miles feeding into it, Mogollon Creek is a significant component in managing local water resources. The arid southwest's unique hydrology ensures that flow conditions can vary dramatically, with extended dry periods that can impact local ecosystems and water availability.
Why the data matters here
Understanding the current conditions of Mogollon Creek is critical for local stakeholders, including farmers, anglers, and conservationists. Today's reading from the United States Geological Survey (USGS) provides a snapshot of what is happening in this critical tributary, revealing how it compares against the historical median for this day. Such comparisons help gauge the creek's performance over time, allowing for better decision-making in water management, especially in a region already susceptible to fluctuations in water availability due to the natural climate patterns. Tracking these dynamics over the past 50 years offers invaluable insights into the health of the creek and the broader watershed it supports.
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.
