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 Okanagan River below Mcintyre Dam
Okanagan River below Mcintyre Dam - A vital stretch of river in the Okanagan watershed.
The Okanagan River below Mcintyre Dam plays an integral role in the Okanagan watershed, a significant hydrological system in British Columbia. With a catchment area of roughly 6,830 square kilometres draining into this section of the river, it handles contributions from an extensive network of tributaries and rainfall in the region. The hydrology here is primarily influenced by the mountain environment, with the river's water levels typically driven by spring freshet from melting snowpack, peaking from May to July.
The watershed context
The Okanagan River is a key waterway, flowing through the landscape as it descends from the surrounding mountainous terrains. It is surrounded by various peers, including tributaries like B.x. Creek and Belgo Creek, which further enrich the waterway's flow. This section below Mcintyre Dam ensures a consistent flow rate, owing to its monitoring for discharge measurements. Here, summer can see lower levels as evaporation occurs, yet the underlying mountain hydrology typically supports a sustained flow throughout the warmer months.
Why the data matters here
Today's river level reading from the Okanagan River below Mcintyre Dam is essential for understanding the current state of water resources in this area. By comparing the reading to the median for this calendar day from the historical record of more than 13 years, users can evaluate any abnormal variations. This kind of data is crucial for farmers, cottagers, and others who rely on water supply levels. Effective management of the river and its flow insights are provided by the Water Survey of Canada, helping all stakeholders make informed decisions about their activities and water resource usage.
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.
