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.

Nenana River near Windy AK - A vital artery of the subarctic landscape.
The Nenana River near Windy is a significant waterway in Alaska, known for its role in the region's dynamic hydrology. Nestled in a subarctic environment, this river is subject to the seasonal rhythms that define the area, where spring breakup and the melting of snow drive annual flood patterns. The river flows through a vast catchment area of roughly 707 square miles, making it an important drainage system that contributes to the overall health of the Nenana River watershed.
Today’s reading at the Nenana River serves as a vital reference point for understanding local hydrological conditions. With the station operated by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) for over four years, this data provides insights into the river's current status compared to historical averages. Monitoring the river’s elevation relative to the median for this date is crucial, as it gives a clearer picture of water levels influenced by seasonal changes. This method highlights trends and helps residents and stakeholders make informed decisions.
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.
