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 Pepin Creek at International Boundary
Pepin Creek - A serene mountain river flowing through British Columbia.
Pepin Creek, located at the International Boundary, is a modest yet vital waterway in British Columbia's Lower Fraser - Coast watershed. This river is part of a mountainous region characterized by a hydrological rhythm driven primarily by seasonal snowmelt, with the peak flow typically occurring from May to July as the snowpack recedes. The creek drains a catchment of roughly 9.44 square kilometers, reflecting its specific geographic influence within the larger ecosystem.
The watershed context
Nestled among the well-known tributaries of the Lower Fraser region, Pepin Creek finds kinship with its peers, such as the Alouette River and the Chilliwack River. These rivers share similar seasonal patterns and contribute to the rich hydrological dynamics of the area. The Lower Fraser watershed is noted for its interconnected systems, where each stream and river plays a role in the sustainability of both wildlife and local communities.
Given that this region typically experiences freshet that peaks during late spring and early summer, the ebb and flow of Pepin Creek are intrinsically linked to the surrounding mountainous landscape, providing essential water resources for local flora and fauna.
Why the data matters here
Monitoring the conditions of Pepin Creek is essential for understanding not only its immediate environment but also the broader ecological ramifications within the Lower Fraser - Coast watershed. As reported by the Water Survey of Canada, today's measurement serves as a valuable data point for gauging the creek's health against historical trends, particularly with 39 years of record data available to inform us.
Today's reading is crucial to interpreting the creek's current status compared to the median data for this date across its historical records. This comparative approach offers more insight than raw elevation numbers alone, helping us assess how seasonal patterns and climate variations may shape Pepin Creek's flow.
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.
