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 Pete Hanson Creek above Henderson Creek near Eureka
Pete Hanson Creek - A key tributary in the Pine Watershed.
Nestled in the rugged terrain of Nevada, Pete Hanson Creek above Henderson Creek near Eureka plays a crucial role in the Pine watershed. This river, with its drainage area of approximately 5.4 square miles, is influenced by the mountain snowmelt that defines the region’s water dynamics.
The watershed context
The Pine watershed is characterized by an arid climate where the seasonality of water flow is pronounced. Snowmelt in spring typically brings higher water levels as accumulated winter snow begins to thaw, feeding the creek and its peers. Summer storms may introduce sudden, localized flash floods, although many channels in this region are ephemeral, showcasing the dramatic fluctuations in water availability. This creek, along with its neighboring streams like Henderson Creek and Horse Creek, reflects the patterns of this unique hydrology, driven by both seasonal runoff and irregular weather events.
Why the data matters here
Monitoring water levels at Pete Hanson Creek is essential for understanding the local water supply and ecological health. This station, operated by the U.S. Geological Survey, provides crucial data not just for cottagers and anglers who rely on these waterways, but also for farmers and others engaged in land management practices in the area. Today's reading will be compared against the median for this calendar day from over 15 years of records, helping to contextualize current water levels and assess any significant deviations. This comparison allows for informed decisions based on reliable hydrological data rather than raw elevation figures, underscoring the importance of real-time monitoring in such a dynamic environment.
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.
