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 Rio Mora near Terrero
Rio Mora - a vital tributary in New Mexico's Pecos Headwaters.
The Rio Mora, located near Terrero, New Mexico, stands out as an essential waterway within the Pecos Headwaters watershed. This region showcases the varied landscapes characteristic of New Mexico, where rivers carve through high country terrain before flowing through arid stretches. The Rio Mora contributes significantly to the local ecology, making it a focal point for those who depend on its waters.
The watershed context
Draining approximately 53.2 square miles above the measuring station, the Rio Mora nourishes the surrounding environment while also connecting with several notable peers, including Beaver Creek and Gallinas Creek. The interaction between these streams creates a complex network that supports diverse ecosystems. Here in the Southwest, the hydrology is predominantly shaped by seasonal patterns: spring flows are fueled by melting snow from the higher elevations, while the summer monsoon rains can induce sudden flash floods, showcasing the dramatic shifts in water availability.
Why the data matters here
Monitoring data for the Rio Mora is crucial for understanding its current state and variations over time. Today's reading from the USGS station at Rio Mora near Terrero allows us to assess its flow against the median for this calendar day from its historical record spanning more than 50 years. This comparison helps illuminate the river's behavior and enables stakeholders, including local farmers and conservationists, to make informed decisions regarding water usage and environmental stewardship. Observing fluctuations in water levels not only reflects the immediate impacts of precipitation but also serves as a bellwether for longer-term climate patterns in the region.
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.
