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 Upsalquitch River at Upsalquitch
Upsalquitch River - A vital waterway in New Brunswick.
The Upsalquitch River flows gracefully through New Brunswick, representing a significant part of the local hydrology. This river serves not only as a natural feature but also plays a crucial role in the ecological and hydrological systems of the area. With a drainage area of approximately 2,270 square kilometres, the Upsalquitch River effectively captures and channels the flow of water from its surroundings.
The watershed context
The Upsalquitch River is situated within the Upsalquitch watershed, an area that collects precipitation and snowmelt, feeding into this important watercourse. The region experiences the dynamic patterns typical of Atlantic hydrology, characterized by a spring snowmelt freshet that can lead to temporary high flows, along with the associated risk of ice jams on the major rivers. Seasonal rainfall in the fall can also contribute to fluctuations in water levels, creating a spectrum of flow conditions throughout the year.
Why the data matters here
The monitoring of the Upsalquitch River is essential for understanding the health and behavior of this vital waterway. The gauge measures not only the river's elevation but also its discharge, which reflects the amount of water flowing through the channel. Today's reading is particularly significant as it allows comparisons against the median for this calendar day based on more than 15 years of historical data. This contextual data is invaluable for local cottagers, anglers, and those who rely on the river’s resources, as it provides insight into current conditions relative to typical expectations provided by the Water Survey of Canada.
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.
