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 Storrie Canal Diversion above Bentley Lake
Storrie Canal Diversion above Bentley Lake - A key contributor to local hydrology.
The Storrie Canal Diversion channels water above Bentley Lake in New Mexico’s Pecos Headwaters watershed. This river serves as an important waterway, linking various tributaries and smaller creeks that flow through the region. Each contributing stream, including notable peers like Beaver Creek and Gallinas Creek, plays a vital role in the seasonal water cycle influenced by the arid Southwest climate.
Why the data matters here
While the Storrie Canal Diversion does not currently record discharge data, monitoring its water levels provides valuable insights into the broader hydrological dynamics of the Pecos Headwaters. As water usage increases in arid regions, understanding such diversions becomes essential for addressing the challenges posed by prolonged dry stretches between seasonal rainfall events.
The variability of water availability is particularly crucial since the state experiences distinct hydrological phases. High-country snowmelt contributes significantly to spring flows, while summer monsoon storms can bring sudden flash floods. Keeping track of water levels at this diversion can help local stakeholders gauge the impact of these events, providing information critical for resource management.
By comparing the current water level to the historical median for today through the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), local users can assess the current situation's significance. This comparison allows those who rely on this river to make informed decisions regarding usage, conservation, and preparation for potential flooding or drought conditions.
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.
