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 Ste. Genevieve River near Forresters Point
Ste. Genevieve River - A vital waterway in Newfoundland.
The Ste. Genevieve River flows gracefully near Forresters Point in Newfoundland, embodying the region's dynamic waterway character. Draining roughly 312 square kilometres, this river serves as an important component of the Strait of Belle Isle - South Shore watershed, providing essential habitat and water resources to local ecosystems.
The watershed context
The Ste. Genevieve River contributes to a diverse network of waterways in Newfoundland. Its primary peers, such as the Bartletts River near St. Anthony, share the landscape and hydrological processes shaped by Atlantic weather patterns. The region experiences a typical seasonal cycle, with spring snowmelt contributing to an annual freshet, while fall and winter bring rainstorms that can lead to flooding. The presence of lakes and bogs helps to moderate water flow within many basins, lending resilience to the hydrological system.
This river's role within its watershed is critical. As it moves through the landscape, it supports various ecological habitats, providing life to both flora and fauna, while also serving practical roles for local communities. Awareness of the river's flow and water levels can be essential for those living nearby, as changes in the river can have direct implications for flood risk and environmental health.
Why the data matters here
Monitoring data from the Ste. Genevieve River is supplied by Water Survey of Canada, offering valuable insights into the river's current condition. Today's observations can provide a comparative context against historical data, enabling us to understand how the river's flow aligns with seasonal expectations.
By comparing today's water level with the median for this calendar day over the past 21 years, we gain a clearer picture of the river's behavior. This contextualized data is essential not only for managing the river's health but also for informing local residents regarding potential flood risks and ensuring the viability of the flora and fauna that rely on this waterway.
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.
