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 Fork Parker Creek near Roosevelt
South Fork Parker Creek - a seasonal river shaped by storms.
South Fork Parker Creek captures the lively essence of Arizona's arid landscape. Located near Roosevelt, this river is characterized by its transformative flow, influenced predominantly by seasonal storms. With a drainage area of roughly 1.1 square miles, South Fork Parker Creek is part of the Upper Salt watershed, which is known for its dynamic hydrological patterns.
The watershed context
The Upper Salt watershed is a pivotal part of Arizona's intricate hydrology. In the summer months, powerful monsoon thunderstorms trigger dramatic flash floods, filling the river and its tributaries quickly and intensely. Conversely, during the winter season, snowmelt from higher elevations contributes to the flow, feeding larger rivers in the area. Between these weather events, many channels, including parts of South Fork Parker Creek, can run dry, emphasizing the dramatic fluctuations in water availability that shape this region's landscape.
South Fork Parker Creek connects with a network of other streams and rivers, including Canyon Creek and Cherry Creek, all of which are essential partners in the watershed's ecological framework. Together, they create a habitat where wildlife thrives, supported by the seasonal rhythms of rain and snow.
Why the data matters here
Monitoring the South Fork Parker Creek is crucial for understanding water availability in the Upper Salt watershed. The U.S. Geological Survey's measurements provide valuable insight into both the creek's flow dynamics and the broader hydrological patterns of the region. Today's reading will be compared against the median for this calendar day over the past 41 years, a comparison that highlights trends and variations more effectively than a simple elevation number. This examination helps local communities, land managers, and flood-watchers to make informed decisions about water use and conservation efforts in this dynamic, ever-changing environment.
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.
