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 Two R Reservoir (rocky Arroyo Reservoir) near Roswell,nm
Two R Reservoir - A vital water source in the Rio Hondo watershed.
Nestled near Roswell, New Mexico, Two R Reservoir, also known as Rocky Arroyo Reservoir, serves as an essential water body within the Rio Hondo watershed. With a drainage area of approximately 64 square miles, this reservoir plays a crucial role in capturing runoff and supporting local aquatic ecosystems, particularly as it aligns with the region's unique hydrological patterns.
The watershed context
The reservoir drains into the Rio Hondo, surrounded by various smaller creeks, including North Fork Eagle Creek and Eagle Creek. These tributaries contribute to the reservoir's water levels, particularly influenced by high-country snowmelt in the spring and the monsoonal rains from July to September. These seasonal rhythms shape the patterns of water availability, making Two R Reservoir an important reservoir that interacts with the broader environment, especially during periods of flash floods and long dry stretches.
The Rio Hondo itself, flowing near Roswell, is a significant hydrological feature that benefits from the contributions of the reservoir. While Two R Reservoir may not have a direct parent river, it serves as a crucial supplementary body supporting the regional water needs, both for ecological processes and potential recreational activities.
Why the data matters here
Today's reading at Two R Reservoir provides valuable insight into its current water level compared to historical records. Analyzing this measurement against the median for this calendar day across the station's nine years of data is vital for understanding seasonal trends and deviations. The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) operates this water monitoring station, ensuring that local water managers and users have access to essential information that informs their decisions on water management and conservation in this arid region.
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.
