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 Pozo Hondo Wash near Sasabe
Pozo Hondo Wash - A dynamic desert watercourse.
Pozo Hondo Wash flows through the arid landscapes near Sasabe, Arizona, serving as an important waterway in the Brawley Wash watershed. With a catchment area of approximately 1.7 square miles, it connects the local ecosystem to the broader environment of the American Southwest. This region is characterized by its dramatic shifts in water availability, influenced by seasonal thunderstorms and winter snowmelt events.
Why the data matters here
The flow data from the USGS station at Pozo Hondo Wash provides essential insights into the hydrology of this region. Monitoring the wash helps understand local water dynamics, especially as summer monsoon thunderstorms can lead to rapid runoff and potential flash floods. These water events deeply affect the habitats and the broader watershed, making continuous observation vital.
Today's reading reflects the current water level conditions compared to the historical median for this date. Analyzing this data allows local residents and water managers to better grasp water availability trends and prepare for flooding risks. By comparing to the median for the calendar day, one gains a more contextual picture of how today's conditions fare against historical norms over the past year, highlighting the wash's variability and significance in the region's hydrology.
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.
