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 Pemberton Creek near Pemberton
Pemberton Creek - A vibrant mountain river.
Flowing gracefully through the lush landscapes of British Columbia, Pemberton Creek near Pemberton captures the essence of mountain hydrology. This river is a vital watercourse in the larger Harrison watershed, which encompasses a variety of significant peers, including the Chehalis and Lillooet rivers, along with Harrison Lake. With a drainage area of roughly 30.5 square kilometres above the station, Pemberton Creek provides a crucial ecosystem for the wildlife and flora that thrive in this mountainous region.
The watershed context
As part of the Harrison watershed, Pemberton Creek experiences a seasonal rhythm dictated by the melting snowpack from the surrounding mountains. The spring freshet typically peaks between May and July, when the accumulated snow begins to thaw, delivering increased volumes of water to the creek. This flow pattern is characteristic of mountain-fed rivers and essential to the ecological health of the region, replenishing the habitats that rely on consistent water levels.
Surrounded by towering trees and majestic peaks, the creek winds its way through valleys, enhancing the scenic quality of Pemberton. During the warmer months, as the snowmelt recedes, water levels can drop due to evaporation, a natural part of the hydrology in this area.
Why the data matters here
Data from Pemberton Creek is collected and maintained by the Water Survey of Canada, which ensures that concerns about water flow and levels can be addressed promptly. This is crucial for local anglers, farmers, and residents who depend on the creek’s reliable water supply. Today's measurement provides a critical benchmark, demonstrating how current water levels stack against historical data.
The latest reading is compared against the median for this date across 38 years of historical records. This perspective helps to understand seasonal and annual fluctuations in water levels, offering insights that are more meaningful than a single number alone. By monitoring Pemberton Creek's performance over time, stakeholders can make informed decisions about resource management and conservation efforts in this quintessential British Columbia watershed.
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.
