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.
For five years, spring 2019 was the mark every Lake Muskoka decision answered to. In April 2026 the lake went two centimeters higher - and the official books have not caught up yet.

Live river level, flow, historical records and forecast for Phantom Creek below Haunted Canyon in Gcnp in AZ, United States, built from official government gauge data.
Phantom Creek - a fleeting flow in the Grand Canyon.
Phantom Creek below Haunted Canyon is a dynamic and ephemeral waterway located in the heart of the Grand Canyon National Park in Arizona. Nestled amongst the rugged terrain and captivating canyon walls, this creek is influenced by the arid climate of the Southwestern United States. It processes seasonal variations, marked by both the intense flash floods brought on by summer monsoon thunderstorms and the winter storms that pave the way for water accumulation from snowmelt in the high country.
This segment of Phantom Creek drains roughly 28.3 square miles, forming part of the Lower Colorado-Marble Canyon watershed. Surrounded by iconic peers such as Bright Angel Creek and the mighty Colorado River, the creek serves as an essential link between smaller tributaries and these larger bodies of water. The unique hydrology of this region results in often dry channels between water events, transforming the landscape dramatically and influencing the surrounding ecosystem.
Water levels in Phantom Creek are closely monitored by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS). Today's reading provides critical insight, especially when compared to the median elevation for this calendar day across the station's historical record. This metric offers a more meaningful context than raw elevation alone, revealing trends and conditions that are vital for understanding the creek’s behavior and its impact on the surrounding environment.
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.
