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 South Div Channel above Tijeras Arroyo near Albq.
South Div Channel above Tijeras Arroyo near Albq. - A flowing companion to the Rio Grande.
Nestled in the heart of New Mexico, the South Div Channel serves a vital role in the broader hydrology of the region. Transitioning from the rugged high country to urban landscapes, this river channel contributes to the watershed dynamics of the Rio Grande-Albuquerque area. With a catchment that drains roughly 11 square miles above the station, it highlights the intricate network of waterways that weave through this arid landscape.
The watershed context
The South Div Channel flows above Tijeras Arroyo, bringing together runoff and ephemeral flows that are characteristic of New Mexico’s unique climate. With high-country snowmelt in the spring, combined with the monsoon season from July to September, the watershed experiences a dichotomy of flow patterns. These events result in seasonal variability where flows can surge dramatically, particularly during monsoonal storms, showcasing the dynamic interactions of river basins in the arid Southwest.
Surrounded by numerous peers like the North Floodway Channel and the multiple segments of the Rio Grande, the South Div Channel contributes significantly to the hydrological makeup of the area. Though it lacks a named parent river, it finds its identity within this network, serving as a crucial waterway during both dry periods and seasonal floods.
Why the data matters here
Today's reading, measured by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) at this site, offers valuable insight into current conditions. By comparing today's level against the median for this calendar day over a historical record of 38 years, we gain a clearer understanding of how today's flow measures up against seasonal expectations. This context is essential not only for those who depend on these waters for recreational activities but also for monitoring potential flood risks during intense weather events typical of the monsoon period.
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.
