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 Red River at Breezy Point
Red River at Breezy Point - a vital choke point in Manitoba's river system.
The Red River at Breezy Point serves as a crucial measurement point within the Lower Red watershed. This section of the river has significant hydrological importance, especially in the context of Manitoba’s prairie landscape, where water levels are influenced by the seasonal rhythms of spring melt and summer recession. With a drainage area of approximately 278,000 square kilometers upstream of this station, the Red River collects runoff from vast stretches of land, making it a key conduit for water flow in the region.
Why the data matters here
Monitoring the Red River at Breezy Point is essential for understanding flood risks, especially during the spring snowmelt when significant runoff can lead to elevated water levels and potential flooding downstream. Over the past 26 years of recorded data, the river's fluctuations provide valuable insights into hydrological patterns, guiding local flood management and conservation efforts. Today's measurement of the river's elevation serves as a vital indicator, reflecting not only the current conditions but also enabling comparison against the historical median for this date. This comparative insight is more effective than raw elevation readings alone, as it allows for a better understanding of how today's level stands in relation to typical values observed by the Water Survey of Canada.
By understanding the dynamics of the Red River at Breezy Point through its measurements, stakeholders can engage in informed decision-making to mitigate flood impacts and manage water resources effectively.
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.
