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 Floodway Channel near Alameda
North Floodway Channel - an essential tributary of the Albuquerque region.
The North Floodway Channel near Alameda flows quietly, playing a vital role in managing the water resources of the surrounding area. Located in New Mexico, this river serves as an important drainage feature that channels water from the arid Southwest and helps mitigate the effects of seasonal rain patterns.
The watershed context
This channel is part of the larger Rio Grande-Albuquerque watershed, an area known for its variable hydrology. The region’s water dynamics are influenced by high-country snowmelt, which drives spring flows, while the monsoon storms from July to September can lead to intense flash floods. The North Floodway Channel drains roughly 87.9 square miles, supporting both urban infrastructure and local ecosystems. Nearby peers include the Rio Grande at multiple checkpoints, highlighting the interconnectedness of this hydrological network.
The interplay of dry stretches between rain events makes the North Floodway Channel a critical component in managing flood risks and providing essential water supply for the communities and farmland in its vicinity.
Why the data matters here
Monitoring the North Floodway Channel is crucial for understanding its flow patterns and managing its water resources effectively. Today, the data provided by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) shows the current reading in relation to the historical median for this calendar day. Comparing today's measurements against the median, established over more than 50 years of records, helps indicate how recent hydrological conditions deviate from typical patterns. This information is vital for local farmers, flood-watchers, and even recreational users of the North Floodway Channel, ensuring responsible and informed water management practices.
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.
