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 Trout Creek near Campbellford
Trout Creek - A vital tributary of the Trent - Crowe watershed.
Trout Creek flows near Campbellford, Ontario, contributing to the larger Trent - Crowe watershed. This watercourse plays an important role in the regional hydrology, particularly during significant seasonal transitions driven by snowmelt and rainfall.
The watershed context
Trout Creek drains approximately 35.6 square kilometres before it joins other water bodies in the Trent - Crowe watershed. This region is characterized by its snowmelt-driven seasonal hydrology, with a clear pattern of spring freshet from late April to May. In the summer months, the creek experiences natural drawdown due to evaporation and lower inflows, continuing into the early winter when ice begins to form and water levels naturally decline. Surrounding waterbodies, such as Burnley Creek and the Trent River, further emphasize the interconnectedness of this watershed.
Why the data matters here
Monitoring water levels in Trout Creek is crucial for various stakeholders, including local residents, farmers, and recreational enthusiasts. The current gauge reading provides an important reference point to assess potential flooding or drought conditions, making it easier to make informed decisions. Today’s measurement from the Water Survey of Canada is compared against the median for this calendar day across 19 years of historical data, allowing for a better understanding of conditions specific to this time of year. Utilizing median values enhances our ability to interpret water levels meaningfully, rather than relying solely on raw elevation figures.
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.
