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 Peace Point
Peace River - a vital waterway shaped by the foothills and prairies.
The Peace River at Peace Point is an important section of one of Alberta’s major tributaries, flowing through the province's beautiful and diverse landscapes. This river serves as a conduit for the area's rich hydrology, reflecting the regional patterns driven by mountain snowmelt and summer storms. As one of the significant rivers in the Peace Watershed, it plays a crucial role in both the natural ecosystem and local water management.
The watershed context
The Peace River drains approximately 299,000 square kilometers, capturing the waters from both mountainous regions and expansive prairie landscapes. The late spring sees notable peaks due to winter's snowmelt, while the summer months can bring sharp rises driven by convective storms. This seasonal rhythm is essential for understanding water levels throughout the year, particularly as they relate to flooding risks or water supply for various uses.
Why the data matters here
Today's reading at the Peace River is particularly significant as it provides context against the historical data collected over 49 years. By comparing the current water level to the median for this calendar day, users can gauge how today's flow fits into the established patterns of fluctuation. This comparison, provided by the Water Survey of Canada, reveals meaningful insights into the health of the river system, helping to inform those who depend on its waters for farming, recreation, and more. Understanding these metrics allows stakeholders to make informed decisions about water use, conservation, and management in relation to the natural cycles of this important river.
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.
