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 Saint John River at Oak Point
Saint John River - A vital watercourse in New Brunswick.
The Saint John River at Oak Point is a significant stretch of water within New Brunswick's evolving landscape. Draining roughly 51,900 square kilometres, this river's flow influences the local ecosystem and the communities that rely on it.
The watershed context
This section of the Saint John River plays a crucial role in the Lower Saint John - Kennebecasis watershed. With neighbouring rivers like the Canaan River and the Kennebecasis River, the Saint John offers connectivity and sustenance to the surrounding habitats and human activity. The watershed reflects Atlantic hydrology patterns, with a spring snowmelt freshet presenting unique conditions, particularly at this time of year, alongside the risks of ice jams in the colder months. Each season brings varied hydrological features, such as potential fall rain floods and the delicate balance of winter ice cover.
Why the data matters here
Today's reading from the Saint John River at Oak Point is significant compared to the historical median for this date, recorded over the past 103 years. This context allows for understanding the river's current state beyond just its elevation; tracking the data helps gauge seasonal shifts and long-term trends. Water Survey of Canada monitors these levels to ensure awareness of changes in the environment that could impact both natural and human systems in the area.
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.
