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 Verde River near Camp Verde
Verde River - A dynamic waterway in the heart of Arizona.
The Verde River near Camp Verde is a key artery in Arizona's arid landscape, known for its changing character influenced by summer monsoon thunderstorms and winter storm events. This river serves as an essential water source for both the ecosystem and local communities, and it flows through the diverse terrain of the Lower Verde watershed.
The watershed context
The Verde River is fed by an expansive drainage area that encompasses roughly 5,009 square miles. Its peer rivers and reservoirs, such as Bartlett Reservoir and Fossil Creek, contribute to the river's flow, particularly during intense monsoonal storms that can unleash powerful flash floods. In contrast, during drier periods, many stretches of the Verde can run dry, highlighting its ongoing interaction with the seasons and climate. The river remains vital for its ecological functions and serves as a recreational hub for activities like fishing and kayaking.
Why the data matters here
The data captured by the USGS station monitors both the river's flow and its stages over time. Today's reading provides a crucial perspective—assessing the current elevation against the median for this calendar day helps put this moment into context, indicating how fluctuations in water levels reflect broader seasonal trends. With a record spanning 38 years, the measurements offer valuable insights into hydrological patterns and inform management practices for the watershed. Understanding these dynamics not only matters for environmental stewardship but also for local water users, agriculture, and flood preparedness as conditions evolve.
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.
