About River East Allen at Allen Mill Bridge
River East Allen at Allen Mill Bridge is a gauged river in England.
The watershed
This station has more than 26 years on record with the Environment Agency. For people living beside the river, that is enough history to show a clear seasonal pattern, even without a long flood narrative. The typical high point comes in December, when the level is 0.31 m (1.03 ft). The typical low point comes in June, when the level is 0.19 m (0.61 ft).
That difference matters at the bank. A dock, crossing, or intake that sits comfortably in early winter still needs to tolerate a lower summer river. The typical annual swing is 12.8 cm (5 in), so the river does not move in large steps most years, but it does move enough to change margins and shallow edges.
What the numbers say
The record high at this station is 1.14 m (3.75 ft), reached in July 2009. The record low is 0.14 m (0.45 ft), reached in June 2013. Those two markers show the range this reach can reach, from very low summer water to a much higher summer peak.
For users on the river, the record high is the level to keep in mind for flood-prone ground, low crossings, and anything that sits close to the bank. The record low is the level that exposes shallow margins first and can leave little buffer for water users who need steady depth.
Reading the hero number
The hero number on this page is the current reading, set beside the median for the same calendar day across the station record. That comparison is more useful than raw elevation because 0.31 m (1.03 ft) means something different in December than it would in June. A reading that is above the daily median says the river is running higher than usual for this date; a reading below it says the opposite.
For this station, that day-by-day context is the quickest way to judge whether conditions are close to the river’s ordinary seasonal level or drifting toward the edges shown by the record.
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.
How Nibi Metrics works · Water stories
Nibi Metrics - live water levels, flow, and forecasts for lakes and rivers across Canada, the US and the UK
Real-time water levels, forecasts, and alerts for lakes and rivers across Canada, the US and the UK. Built on official government data.
Nibi Metrics tracks more than 13,000 gauged lakes and rivers across Canada, the United States and the United Kingdom, reading directly from official federal monitoring networks: the Water Survey of Canada, the United States Geological Survey, Quebec's provincial hydrometric network, and the Environment Agency for England. Every number on the platform is measured, not modelled - taken from a government gauge on the water itself and compared against that location's own historical record for this exact date.
What you can see for any monitored lake or river
The level right now, in feet or metres, updated as the source agency publishes new readings - for many stations that is every five to fifteen minutes. How today compares to typical: every location carries its own typical-for-this-date band built from its historical record, so a reading is never just a number - it is above, below, or near what this water usually does on this calendar day. Which way it is moving: a measured RISING, FALLING, or STEADY verdict computed from the gauge's own recent readings, with the rate of change - the difference between a flood ending and one beginning. What comes next: level forecasts up to 72 hours ahead, driven by the gauge's recent behaviour, upstream water, and quantitative precipitation forecasts, alongside live radar, lightning, and weather for the surrounding region.
Alerts that watch the water for you
Set a threshold on any location - a level, a distance above typical, or a rate of climb - and Nibi emails or notifies you the moment the gauge crosses it. Cottagers use it for spring freshet, anglers for river conditions, marinas and municipalities for operations. The scanning runs around the clock against the same measured data shown on every page.
Where Nibi comes from
Nibi means water in Anishinaabemowin. The platform began at a family cottage on Lake Muskoka, Ontario, where the spring melt floods the shoreline most years and the only forecast was standing on the dock, looking, and guessing. It grew into an independent, member-funded platform run by Muskoka Research Inc. - no investors, no data resale, and a privacy policy shorter than most cookie banners. The core data is free for everyone, forever; paid plans add automation like multi-location alerts, deep history, and reports.
Coverage
Nibi spans the continent: every Canadian province and territory with active federal gauges - from Vancouver Island rivers to the Muskoka lakes, prairie reservoirs, and Quebec's hydrometric network - and the United States from Maine to the Texas Hill Country, the Ohio Valley, and the Pacific Northwest. Coverage grows where the water news is: when a basin floods, its gauges join the platform with their full historical records attached. Many stations report every five to fifteen minutes; most report at least hourly; every page states exactly when its gauge last spoke.
Free forever, funded by members
The core promise is simple: the water data is free, for everyone, forever. Live levels, maps, radar, and recent history never sit behind a paywall. Paid plans fund the platform by adding automation - multi-location alerts, decades of history, longer forecasts, and PDF reports - so the people who need more carry the cost for everyone who just needs to check the lake before driving up. There are no investors and no advertising deals shaping what the data says.
