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 Riviere Delisle near Alexandria
Riviere Delisle - a vital tributary of the Upper St. Lawrence watershed.
Riviere Delisle flows gracefully through the vibrant landscapes near Alexandria, Ontario, serving as an essential component of the Upper St. Lawrence - Raisin watershed. This river measures water levels at a gauge located just outside the town, capturing data that reflects both seasonal and annual variations intrinsic to this area.
The watershed context
The Riviere Delisle is part of a network of rivers that connects to several peers, including the Garry River and the Raisin River. The river's drainage area spans approximately 85.9 square kilometres, providing insight into the amount of land that contributes to its flow. Situated within a region marked by snowmelt-driven hydrology, Riviere Delisle experiences a dynamic seasonal rhythm. Typically, the spring freshet occurs from late April to May, as melting snow sends water rushing through the streams and rivers. This is followed by natural summer drawdown from July to September, where evaporation and diminished inflows lead to lower water levels. As autumn turns to winter, the river gradually declines as ice forms, leading to further variability in flow.
Why the data matters here
Understanding the water levels of Riviere Delisle is essential for local stakeholders, including cottagers, anglers, and area residents. Current readings provide valuable guidance for recreational activities, agricultural practices, and environmental stewardship. Comparing today's level to the median for this calendar day, derived from more than 40 years of historical data gathered by Water Survey of Canada, offers context and a clearer picture of the river's health. This holistic approach to monitoring river status helps inform local decisions and raises awareness of the changing conditions along this important waterway.
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.
