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 Rock Creek near Battle Mountain
Rock Creek - a vital flow in Nevada’s arid landscape.
Rock Creek runs near Battle Mountain, Nevada, showcasing the unique hydrological characteristics of the Great Basin. This river plays a crucial role in the local ecosystem and provides essential water resources in an area marked by arid conditions. The creek is fed by mountain snowmelt, which contributes to its flows in the spring, while summer thunderstorms can lead to sudden flash flooding in its channels.
The watershed context
Rock Creek is part of the broader Rock watershed, which encompasses roughly 864 square miles. This drainage area feeds the creek and highlights its importance in connecting the varying terrains and habitats of the region. The seasonal pattern in this part of Nevada sees peak flows during spring, influenced greatly by snowmelt from the surrounding mountains. As summer progresses, the likelihood of localized thunderstorms increases, which can lead to ephemeral flows that are characteristic of many watercourses in this arid landscape.
Why the data matters here
Understanding water levels and flows in Rock Creek is essential for managing water resources in its watershed. The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) provides monitoring data, including measurements of discharge, which is invaluable for local communities, agriculture, and outdoor activities. Today's reading can give a snapshot of the creek's condition compared to historical averages. By examining this comparison against the calendar day median over the past 50 years, stakeholders can assess how current conditions stack up against historical norms. This data plays a pivotal role in informing water management decisions and anticipating changes due to natural variability or climatic impacts.
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.
