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 Salmon Falls Creek near San Jacinto NV
Salmon Falls Creek - A lifeline in the arid Great Basin.
Salmon Falls Creek near San Jacinto, Nevada, is a river that epitomizes the dynamic hydrology of the Great Basin. With a catchment area of approximately 1,401 square miles upstream, this creek plays an important role in the ecology and water dynamics of its surroundings. As a perennial waterway, Salmon Falls Creek experiences varied water levels influenced by seasonal cycles of snowmelt in the spring and occasional summer thunderstorms, typical of the region's arid climate.
The watershed context
The Salmon Falls watershed is situated in Nevada, where the impact of the Great Basin's unique hydrology is particularly pronounced. Here, mountain snowmelt significantly contributes to spring peaks, replenishing this vital water source. In contrast, the summer months bring powerful thunderstorms that can lead to local flash floods, reinforcing the need for vigilance among those who rely on this waterway.
Salmon Falls Creek forms vital connections with its peer waterways, such as Salmon Falls Creek near Hagerman, Idaho, and the Salmon River Canal near Rogerson, Idaho. Together, these rivers reflect the intricate balance of water supply and demand in an often-arid landscape.
Why the data matters here
Understanding the hydrological data for Salmon Falls Creek is essential for managing the ecosystem and the communities that depend on this creek. Currently, the USGS monitors and publishes discharge data, which allows for better insights into the creek's water levels and flow trends. The importance of this data is underscored by its historical context, with a record spanning 50 years.
Today's reading for Salmon Falls Creek will be compared against the median for this calendar day from the station's historical record. This provides a valuable reference point, allowing local users to assess current conditions within the broader pattern of variability seen over time. The USGS's consistent monitoring helps ensure that the water needs of cottagers, anglers, and farmers in the region are understood and met, promoting a sustainable relationship with this critical resource.
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.
