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 Pigeon River at Omemee
Pigeon River - A flowing connection in Kawartha Lakes.
Nestled in the heart of the Kawartha Lakes region, the Pigeon River at Omemee offers a vital lifeline for the local ecosystem and the communities that depend on its waters. Draining roughly 261 square kilometres, this river weaves through landscapes that are familiar to residents and visitors alike, sharing its banks with rich biodiversity and recreational opportunities.
Why the data matters here
Today's river reading provides essential insights into the current state of the Pigeon River. The ongoing hydrology pattern in Ontario features a snowmelt-driven rhythm, with spring freshet typically occurring from late April through May. By the summer months, the river sees a natural drawdown from July to September as evaporation occurs and inflow diminishes. The depiction of today’s flow as compared to the historical median illuminates seasonal variations and helps local anglers, farmers, and flood-watchers understand how the river is behaving in context with its long-term data.
With 17 years of records maintained at the gauge operated by Water Survey of Canada, this station's readings help gauge trends and predict future flow conditions, empowering those who engage with this river. Whether it's for fishing near its banks or monitoring environmental health, keeping track of median levels is crucial for managing relationships with this dynamic waterway.
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.
