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.
For five years, spring 2019 was the mark every Lake Muskoka decision answered to. In April 2026 the lake went two centimeters higher - and the official books have not caught up yet.

Mora Creek - A vital waterway in New Mexico's Mora watershed.
Mora Creek flows through the heart of New Mexico, offering a glimpse into the region's unique hydrology. Situated at Holman, this river serves as an important resource for both local ecology and community needs. The creek is part of the Mora watershed, which features several neighboring waterways, including Canoncito Ditch and Coyote Creek. The hydrological dynamics of Mora Creek are influenced heavily by the arid Southwest's seasonal rhythm, where high-country snowmelt fosters spring flows and monsoon storms can bring sudden flash floods between long droughts.
Today's reading from Mora Creek is a key indicator of current water conditions, assessed against historical data from the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS). Comparing today's measurements to the median for this day across two years of records provides a better understanding of current flow conditions, considering the variable nature of water levels in arid regions. Establishing a baseline helps communities, farmers, and conservationists alike to respond appropriately to fluctuations in water availability. The creek's data reflects more than just numbers; it symbolizes the life-sustaining cycle of water that supports the surrounding ecosystem and local communities.
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.
