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.

Outaouais River - A vital tributary of the St. Lawrence.
The Outaouais River at the Marina de Sainte-Anne-de-Bellevue is a significant stretch of water within the greater St. Lawrence watershed, showcasing the dynamic interactions between river systems and the surrounding environment. This section of the river spans an impressive catchment area of approximately 147,000 square kilometres, contributing to the rich hydrology of the region.
As part of the St. Lawrence River watershed, the Outaouais River plays a vital role in managing water flow and supporting local ecosystems. This river segment, among its peers such as Lac Saint-Louis and the Riviere Des Outaouais, is influenced by seasonal fluctuations typical of the region. In Quebec, a strong spring freshet occurs from April through May, driven by melting snow, which can lead to higher water levels and flow rates during this time. Summer typically sees lower water levels due to increased evaporation and decreased inflow, while early ice formation marks the onset of winter conditions.
Today's reading at the Outaouais River at the Marina de Sainte-Anne-de-Bellevue contributes to an understanding of regional water patterns. Monitoring flow is essential for multiple stakeholders, including those engaged in recreation, environmental management, and flood preparedness. The continuous discharge measurements from this station enable readers to better grasp the river's dynamics.
With a historical record spanning more than 47 years, analyzing the current water level in comparison to the median for this calendar day provides valuable insights. This perspective allows for a more nuanced understanding of the river's behavior over time compared to raw elevation readings alone. Data from this gauge is provided by Water Survey of Canada, making it a reliable source for anyone interested in the hydrology of the Outaouais River.
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.
