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 Tijeras Arroyo at Coyote Springs Road near Carnuel
Tijeras Arroyo - A fleeting flow in the arid Southwest.
Tijeras Arroyo at Coyote Springs Road near Carnuel flows gently through the arid landscape of New Mexico. This river, part of the Rio Grande-Albuquerque watershed, is influenced by seasonal hydrological patterns, primarily dictated by high-country snowmelt during the spring and unpredictable monsoon storms in the summer months. The region's climate, with its long dry spells interrupted by rapid rainfall events, defines the character of this watercourse.
Why the data matters here
Today’s water level is an important indicator of Tijeras Arroyo's flow status, especially given the dynamic nature of its environment. This site, monitored by the U.S. Geological Survey, has recorded data over the last three years, providing insights into its seasonal variations and overall health. Understanding today's reading in relation to the historical median for this date allows observers to gauge whether current conditions are typical or noteworthy. Such comparisons are crucial in arid regions like New Mexico, where water availability can fluctuate significantly.
In the context of the broader Rio Grande watershed, Tijeras Arroyo serves as a minor tributary but plays a key role in stormwater management and local ecology. The flow here can vary dramatically in response to rainfall, moving from negligible levels during dry periods to swift currents following summer storms. By tracking these changes, the gauge contributes to a larger network of data that helps farmers, anglers, and water resource managers navigate the challenges of water scarcity and flash flood risks in the area.
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.
