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 Pine Creek at Modarelli Mine Road near Hay Ranch
Pine Creek - A vital stream in arid Nevada.
Pine Creek, located at Modarelli Mine Road near Hay Ranch in Nevada, serves as an important watercourse within the Pine watershed. This river is part of a region characterized by its unique hydrology, where the melting snow from surrounding mountains fuels springtime flow, leading to seasonal peaks. The creek’s significance is further underscored by its role in the local ecosystem, supporting various flora and fauna adapted to its conditions.
The watershed context
Pine Creek drains an area of approximately 804 square miles, and its flow is influenced by the broader climatic patterns experienced in Nevada's arid Great Basin. This hydrological system is shaped by the mountain snowmelt that typically peaks in spring, while summer thunderstorms can contribute to occasional flash floods. Adjacent rivers like Henderson Creek and Horse Creek complement Pine Creek, together forming a network that channels water through this semi-arid landscape.
Why the data matters here
Understanding the water levels of Pine Creek is essential for local stakeholders, including farmers, anglers, and residents near Hay Ranch. Today's reading provides valuable insight into how current conditions compare to historical norms. The gauge at Pine Creek is operated by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), and today’s elevation is evaluated against the median for this calendar day over the past 13 years of record-keeping. This perspective on data is more informative than raw elevation figures alone, as it frames current conditions within a historical context, highlighting trends and variances that could impact the local community and ecosystem.
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.
