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 Pembina River near Entwistle
Pembina River near Entwistle - a vital waterway in Central Alberta.
The Pembina River meanders gracefully near Entwistle, Alberta, nestled within the Central Pembina watershed. This important river contributes to the region's water needs while serving as a natural habitat and recreational site for the local community. The Pembina River, along with its peers such as Coyote Creek and the Paddle River, is part of a dynamic system influenced by the unique hydrology of Alberta’s foothills and prairies.
The watershed context
Covering a drainage area of approximately 4,390 square kilometers, the Pembina River gathers water from a diverse landscape, integrating the effects of mountain snowmelt and seasonal weather patterns. Snow accumulation in the spring leads to late-spring peaks due to melting, while summer convective storms can cause sudden rises in water levels. This hydrological rhythm is essential for understanding the Pembina’s seasonal behavior, making it a critical resource for agriculture and ecology.
Why the data matters here
Current data provided by the Water Survey of Canada allows stakeholders—including cottagers, anglers, and farmers—to monitor conditions effectively. Today’s reading indicates how the river’s water level compares to the historical median for this date, a vital benchmark that helps gauge current flow conditions in relation to historical trends. Understanding these readings over the river's 49 years of recorded data ensures community preparedness and supports effective water management practices.
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.
