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 WEBER RES NR SCHURZ
Weber Reservoir - A reflective body in the Walker watershed.
Nestled in the arid landscape of Nevada, Weber Reservoir presents a vital water resource within the Walker watershed. This reservoir serves as an important feature for local ecology and water management, embodying the essence of the region, where mountain snowmelt influences the annual hydrology.
The watershed context
The Weber Reservoir is part of the Walker watershed, which is characterized by its diverse network of rivers and canals. Though the reservoir doesn't have a defined parent river, it connects with several pertinent waterways that contribute to its hydrology. Notably, it is near other key features like Canal No. 1 and Canal No. 2, as well as various reaches of the Walker River. The extensive drainage area above Weber Reservoir spans approximately 2,770 square miles, highlighting the interconnectedness of the watershed's water sources and the dependency of the surrounding ecosystem on its water supply.
The Walker watershed, typical of the Great Basin's arid climate, experiences seasonal changes driven largely by mountain snowmelt, which leads to significant water peaks during the spring. The summer months often bring localized thunderstorms, sometimes resulting in flash floods in ephemeral channels. Understanding these seasonal rhythms is critical for those engaged in agriculture, recreation, and local conservation efforts.
Why the data matters here
Today's measurement at Weber Reservoir, provided by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), gives us a crucial snapshot of the water level in relation to its historical data. By comparing today’s reading against the median for this calendar day over the station's 19 years of record, we gain insights into trends and fluctuations that are vital for managing water resources effectively. This comparative approach outstrips a simple elevation reading, granting stakeholders a clearer understanding of how current conditions align with historical norms. Such data is invaluable for farmers, anglers, and flood-watchers in navigating the challenges posed by the Great Basin's unique hydrology.
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.
