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 Thompson River near Savona
Thompson River - A dynamic flow through the heart of British Columbia.
The Thompson River near Savona flows with vitality through the rugged landscapes of British Columbia, showcasing the region's striking mountain hydrology. This river is fed by a substantial drainage area, encompassing roughly 39,600 square kilometres above the station. Nestled among neighboring waterways, it connects to notable peers such as Arrowstone Creek and the Bonaparte River, enriching the region's complex aquatic ecosystem.
Why the data matters here
Water levels at the Thompson River are influenced by a freshet driven by snowpack, typically peaking between May and July. This dynamic seasonal rhythm highlights the importance of monitoring water flow, especially during periods of runoff and potential flooding. The river's data can inform local stakeholders, from farmers reliant on irrigation to those engaging in recreation. Each gauge reading provides insight not just into the river’s current state, but also its historical patterns and variations.
Today’s reading at Thompson River near Savona is essential for understanding its flow dynamics, particularly in comparison to the median for this calendar day across more than four years of records maintained by the Water Survey of Canada. Evaluating today’s levels against historical data allows for a better perspective on trends that might otherwise be overlooked.
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.
