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 North Alouette River at 232nd Street, Maple Ridge
North Alouette River - A vital waterway in the Lower Fraser region.
The North Alouette River flows gracefully through the municipality of Maple Ridge, British Columbia, offering an important ecological and hydrological resource in the Lower Fraser - Coast watershed. This river plays a key role in supporting local ecosystems and providing water for various human activities in the area.
The watershed context
The North Alouette River is part of a compact drainage catchment, draining roughly 33 square kilometres upstream of the gauge at 232nd Street. It aligns with the regional hydrology patterns often shaped by mountain influence, where freshets are driven by melting snow, generally peaking from May to July. This climatic rhythm means that during late spring and early summer, the river will typically experience increased flow, attracting the attention of cottagers, fishers, and outdoor enthusiasts alike.
The river shares its home with notable peers such as the Alouette River near Haney and various creeks and rivers in the vicinity, including Bertrand Creek and the Chilliwack River. This interconnected system forms an essential part of the local hydrology, maintaining ecological balance and providing support to wildlife.
Why the data matters here
Monitoring data for the North Alouette River is crucial for understanding its current state. Today's reading from the gauge will be compared against the historical median flow for this date across nearly five decades of records. This comparison offers insight into whether the river is running higher or lower than is typical for this time of year. The Water Survey of Canada operates this station, providing vital information that can help address concerns related to water levels, making it an essential resource for flood-watchers and water managers alike.
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.
