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 N-Fork White River Blw Gold Gulch at Whiteriver AZ
N-Fork White River Blw Gold Gulch - a vital waterway in the arid Southwest.
The N-Fork White River Blw Gold Gulch flows through a landscape defined by the contrasting rhythms of arid and wet seasons. Experiencing both summer monsoon thunderstorms and winter snowmelt, the river serves as an important conduit for water in this region.
The watershed context
Located in Arizona, the N-Fork White River is part of the White River watershed, which encompasses several other streams, including the East Fork White River near Fort Apache and the North Fork White River at Lower Log Road. Draining roughly 349 square miles of land above the station, this river segment reflects the region's dynamic hydrology. The summer months often usher in intense thunderstorms that can lead to rapid flash floods, while the winter season brings snowmelt from the high country contributing to flow. However, many channels in the area can run dry during the intervening periods, emphasizing the variability of water presence in this watershed.
Why the data matters here
Seasonal data is crucial for understanding the N-Fork White River's behavior and predicting water availability. While the river does not currently publish discharge readings through the USGS, keeping track of water elevation is still vital. For instance, today's reading can be compared against the median for this calendar day across the station's historical record. This comparison provides a clearer picture of whether current conditions are above or below average, helping residents, cottagers, and those interested in the river's ecological health respond appropriately to changing conditions. Monitoring the N-Fork White River aids in the overall assessment of the watershed’s health and its capacity to respond to the region's distinct hydrological patterns.
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.
