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 Ugjoktok River below Harp Lake
Ugjoktok River below Harp Lake - a natural conduit of the Adlatok watershed.
The Ugjoktok River flows gracefully below Harp Lake in Newfoundland and Labrador, serving as a significant part of the Adlatok watershed. With a substantial drainage area of approximately 7,550 square kilometres contributing to its waters, this river reflects the dynamic hydrology typical of the Atlantic region. The seasonal patterns in this area are marked by the spring snowmelt freshet and the impact of fall and winter storms, which can bring about rain-induced floods.
The watershed context
Harp Lake, situated upstream, plays a crucial role in this river system, influencing both water levels and local ecology. The Ugjoktok River channels water away from the lake, ultimately contributing to the broader Adlatok watershed, which supports a variety of wildlife and aquatic habitats. While the specifics of the river’s ecological character are not detailed, the general environment of such watersheds suggests a vibrant interplay between land and water, offering fertile grounds for diverse species.
Why the data matters here
The Ugjoktok River station provides critical hydrologic data, including discharge measurements, which enable monitoring of water flow and river health. Today, the water level reading is compared against the median for this date across the past 46 years of record. This historical context enriches our understanding of seasonal variations and the river's ongoing natural cycles, as compiled by the Water Survey of Canada. This comparative approach to water level data ensures that potential fluctuations in river levels are interpreted within a framework of historical norms, allowing for more informed management and appreciation of the river's ecological significance.
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.
