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 Nutria near Ramah
Rio Nutria - A winding river in the Zuni watershed.
The Rio Nutria near Ramah flows through the Zuni watershed in New Mexico, a region characterized by its varied topography and significant seasonal shifts in precipitation. The river spans a catchment area of roughly 71 square miles, drawing water from the surrounding high country and contributing to the local hydrological dynamism.
The watershed context
This section of the Rio Nutria runs in an area influenced by distinct patterns of hydrology. In the arid Southwest, the spring thaw from the high country snowmelt significantly contributes to river flows, marking a crucial time for the ecosystem. Following this, from July to September, the region experiences monsoon storms that can bring sudden and heavy rains, resulting in flash floods. This variability in water flow not only affects the river itself but also influences the surrounding habitats and human activities, such as agriculture and fishing.
As a tributary within the Zuni watershed, the Rio Nutria's flows are essential for maintaining water levels downstream, particularly as the region grapples with long stretches of dry weather. Its nearest peer in the watershed is the Zuni River above Black Rock Reservoir, emphasizing the interconnectivity of these water systems.
Why the data matters here
Monitoring the Rio Nutria is vital for understanding its hydrological behavior and ensuring water resource management in the arid conditions of New Mexico. The current flow and elevation data provided by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) play a critical role in this understanding. Today's reading provides insight into the river's status, especially when compared to the median for this calendar day over the station's half-century of records. This statistical analysis helps users better assess fluctuations, potential flood risks, and the general health of the river ecosystem throughout the changing seasons.
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.
