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 Restigouche River above Rafting Ground Brook
Restigouche River above Rafting Ground Brook - A vital waterway in New Brunswick's hydrological tapestry.
The Restigouche River, flowing above Rafting Ground Brook, forms a significant part of the Chaleur Bay watershed in New Brunswick. This river is not only pivotal for local ecosystems but also plays an essential role in the hydrology of the region, which is characterized by Atlantic climatic patterns. The river drains an extensive area of approximately 7,810 square kilometres, shaping its flow dynamics and ecological richness.
The watershed context
This section of the Restigouche River is surrounded by a landscape that reflects the typical seasonal changes observed in New Brunswick. Spring brings thawing and snowmelt, often leading to freshet conditions that can elevate water levels and create risks of ice jams. As the year progresses into fall, rainfall can also lead to flooding, particularly in vulnerable areas along the river. These natural cycles not only influence the flow of the Restigouche but also affect neighboring waterways like the Eel River, Jacquet River, and Middle River.
Why the data matters here
The hydrometric station on the Restigouche River above Rafting Ground Brook actively measures river discharge, providing essential data for understanding water conditions. Today’s reading is compared with the historical median for this date, reflecting patterns over the past 58 years. Monitored by the Water Survey of Canada, these data help inform residents, farmers, and recreational enthusiasts alike about current water levels, making it crucial for flood monitoring and resource management. Tracking discharge not only helps anticipate runoff conditions but also aids in assessing the ecological health of this robust river system.
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.
