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 Roberts Creek near Eureka
Roberts Creek - a seasonal trickle shaped by nature's whims.
Roberts Creek, located near Eureka in Nevada, is a river that embodies the dynamic hydrology of the arid Great Basin region. This waterway, while modest in scale, demonstrates the effect of seasonal changes driven by mountain snowmelt in the spring and the unpredictable summer thunderstorms that can lead to localized flash flooding. As a vital part of the Diamond-Monitor Valleys watershed, Roberts Creek is interconnected with nearby streams such as Coils Creek and Slough Creek, creating a network of water sources in this unique landscape.
The watershed context
The watershed draining into Roberts Creek encompasses approximately 18.6 square miles, gathering moisture from seasonal snowmelt and the occasional summer rains that contribute to the creek’s flow. During spring, the melting snow increases the water levels, revealing the creek's vital role as a source of water for local ecosystems. The runoff from the surrounding mountains contributes to peak flows, while drier summer months often see declines in stream levels due to evaporation and reduced inflow.
Roberts Creek, along with its peers in the region, plays an essential role in maintaining the balance of local ecology, offering a habitat for various plant and animal species that rely on this water source. This characteristic highlights the interconnectedness of the waterways within the Diamond-Monitor Valleys, showing how each contributes to the overall health of the environment.
Why the data matters here
Understanding the data collected at Roberts Creek is crucial for managing this local resource effectively. The United States Geological Survey (USGS) monitors the creek and provides valuable insights into water levels over time. Today's measurement at the gauge can be compared against the historical median for this calendar day over the last 15 years, a practice that offers more context than a single raw elevation reading. Being aware of how current levels stack up against historical norms can inform decisions about water usage, especially in this region where the hydrology can fluctuate so dramatically between 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.
