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 Pearson Creek near the Mouth
Pearson Creek - a vital tributary of the Okanagan.
Nestled in British Columbia's sunlit Okanagan Valley, Pearson Creek flows near its mouth where it meets the broader landscape. This creek, with a catchment area of approximately 72.9 square kilometres, is part of a vibrant watershed that supports a variety of ecosystems and human activities.
The watershed context
The Okanagan watershed is renowned for its diverse environment, encompassing various water bodies, including neighboring creeks like Coldstream Creek and Camp Creek. The river systems in this region undergo significant seasonal changes; as spring advances, snowmelt fuels the freshet, often peaking between May and July. This influx of water plays a critical role in sustaining local ecology and agriculture. In drier months, low inflow and evaporation can lead to a natural decline in water levels, characteristic of the Okanagan's climate.
Why the data matters here
Monitoring stations like Pearson Creek provide essential data vital for understanding local hydrological patterns. Discharge measurements at this site, combined with historical records—spanning nearly 49 years—offer insight into the creek's flow dynamics over time. Today's reading can be compared to the median for this date, allowing residents, farmers, and other stakeholders to gauge current conditions against historical patterns. The Water Survey of Canada operates this station, ensuring that accurate and robust data is available to bolster awareness and preparedness for seasonal fluctuations in water levels. This context helps in making informed decisions regarding water usage and environmental stewardship throughout the region.
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.
