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 Peace River at Hudson Hope
Peace River - A vital waterway in British Columbia.
The Peace River at Hudson Hope is a significant river in British Columbia, flowing through the heart of the Eastern Williston Lake watershed. This station provides crucial insights into the hydrology of a region characterized by its mountain-driven water patterns, where snowpack influences river levels prominently from late spring into summer.
The watershed context
The Peace River drains a considerable area, capturing roughly 73,100 square kilometers above the station. This vast catchment contributes to the river's flow, particularly during the freshet period from May to July, when snow melts and feeds the river. Residents and visitors can expect to experience varying water levels influenced by this seasonal melting, and conditions often fluctuate significantly due to the interplay of snow and glacier-fed systems in the vicinity.
Why the data matters here
Understanding real-time water data at this gauge is essential for anyone relying on the river's resources, whether for recreation, agriculture, or environmental management. As of the latest reading, the water level at the Peace River at Hudson Hope will be compared to the historical median for this calendar day, a practice that offers a clearer context than relying solely on raw elevation numbers. Analyzing these data trends aids the Water Survey of Canada (WSC) in crafting informed responses to fluctuating water conditions. With over 43 years of record-keeping at this station, the insights gained are invaluable for managing the river’s health and the activities that depend on it.
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.
