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 Salt Creek near Codrington
Salt Creek - A lively tributary within the Trent - Crowe watershed.
Salt Creek flows near Codrington, Ontario, weaving through the landscape of the Trent - Crowe watershed. This vibrant creek, with a drainage area of approximately 79.3 square kilometres above the monitoring station, contributes to the rich hydrological network that characterizes the region. As part of a larger system that includes peer waterways like Burnley Creek, Crowe River, and Mayhew Creek, Salt Creek plays a crucial role in both the ecology and hydrology of Eastern Ontario.
The watershed context
The Trent - Crowe watershed spans across a diverse landscape, encompassing various water bodies that support regional biodiversity. Salt Creek stands out as a significant tributary that feeds into this extensive system. This area experiences snowmelt-driven seasonal hydrology, with pronounced changes throughout the year. The spring freshet typically occurs in late April to May, driven by melting snow, while the summer months usher in a natural drawdown through evaporation and low inflow until September. Early winter brings further decline as ice begins to form on the water surface.
Why the data matters here
Monitoring the conditions of Salt Creek near Codrington is essential for understanding the creek's health and ensuring the well-being of the surrounding ecosystems. The recorded data, referencing 19 years of observation, allows for comparisons with historical medium elevations, providing a context that raw elevation alone cannot offer. As of today, the water level is measured against the median for this calendar day as recorded by Water Survey of Canada. This gives stakeholders, including cottagers, anglers, and environmentalists, a reliable benchmark for evaluating water conditions, potentially impacting water quality, wildlife, and recreational activities 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.
