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 Ute Creek near Logan
Ute Creek - A vital waterway in the arid landscape.
Ute Creek flows gracefully near Logan, New Mexico, serving as an essential component of the Ute watershed. This creek responds dynamically to the seasonal rhythms of the Arid Southwest, characterized by its reliance on high-country snowmelt and the rare but intense summer monsoon storms that sweep across the region.
The watershed context
Draining a catchment area of approximately 1,748 square miles, Ute Creek is vital for both local ecosystems and communities. The watershed supports a variety of habitats while also being significant for irrigation and local agriculture. Observing Ute Creek’s flow can provide insight into broader regional water trends, especially given the pronounced dry stretches typical in this arid landscape. During spring, the melting snow in the higher elevations leads to increased flows, while the monsoon rains from July to September can dramatically influence water levels, sometimes resulting in flash floods.
Why the data matters here
Understanding the flow of Ute Creek is crucial for local water management, especially as the region experiences variability in precipitation. Today's data reflects the creek's discharge readings from the U.S. Geological Survey, and comparing this day's reading against the median for this calendar day across 50 years of historical data allows for a clearer understanding of current conditions. Such data assists in preparing for both drought and flood risks, helping to safeguard the surrounding communities and natural habitats.
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.
